Türkiye’s fresh fruit and vegetable export revenue reached a record $2.35 billion in the first half of 2026, marking a 39 percent increase from the same period a year earlier. The result sets a new high for the January-June period and underlines the sector’s strong performance.
The latest figure is notable because it is the first time the country’s fresh produce exports have gone above $2 billion in the opening six months of a year. That milestone highlights the rising value of Türkiye’s fruit and vegetable trade during the first half of 2026.
Fresh produce remains an important part of Türkiye’s broader export economy, and the new record points to solid momentum in agricultural shipments. A sharp year-on-year gain in export revenue suggests stronger earnings from international sales of fresh fruit and vegetables.
With the first-half total already at a historic level, the sector has set a high benchmark for the rest of 2026. The January-June performance shows that Türkiye’s fresh produce industry is continuing to expand its export footprint in value terms.
