Fig occupies an area of 9,000 and 700 hectares for dried and fresh fruit production respectively as organised orchards. Furthermore, there are about 1.5 million scattered trees for both dry and fresh fig production. The total annual production is about 30,000 and 20,000 tons of fresh and dry fig, respectively, and about 50 per cent of the dry fig production is exported. The existing 150,000 loquat trees produce about 2,500 tons of fruits consumed locally, but only 15,000 trees belong to regular orchards occupying about 75 hectares, while the remaining 135,000 are scattered. About 180,000 Japanese persimmon trees are scattered in the home gardens. Organized pomegranate orchards occupy an area of 100 hectares (25,000 trees), and in addition to these, about 230,000 scattered trees also exist. Barbary fig trees exist as scattered in the dry areas of southern Greece. There is an interest for expanding the cultivation of these crops.
