**Report Highlights:**

Turkish apple and pear production is estimated to decrease by about 10
percent in MY 2004, while no change is estimated for fresh table grape
production from the previous year. Exports of apples, pears and table
grapes remain only a small proportion of the production even though
Turkey produces large quantities. Middle Eastern and European markets
are the primary export destinations.

# Executive Summary

In MY 2004, Turkey's apple and pear production is estimated to be ten
percent lower compared to the previous year. This is because of the
frosts in early April, which affected the production of some of the
horticultural crops in the country. However, MY 2004 table grape
production estimates are about at the same level as they were in the
previous year.

The quality of apple, pear, and table grape production has improved in
recent years through use of better seedlings and production techniques
in Turkey.

Turkey consumes domestically most of the (about 90 percent) deciduous
fruit production. Only small proportions of the production (five percent
or less) are exported. Middle East and European markets are the primary
destinations. Russia is also a significant market especially for fresh
table grapes.

To protect Turkish growers, a 60.3 percent duty is applied on fresh
apple and pear imports and a 54.9 percent import duty on fresh table
grape imports from all origins.

The GOT does not support pear and grape exports. However, the GOT
supports apple exports at USD 40 per MT. This support was announced late
and only for three months (March through May). Payments will not be made
as cash to exporters, instead; exporters may use it as part of their
payments to the government as taxes, social security and other payments.

(Note: The exchange rate for USD 1.00 is currently around TL 1,500,000
compared to TL 1,380,000 a year ago. The rate of inflation for the same
period is around ten percent.)

# Production

Winter weather conditions were good for fresh deciduous fruit
production. Frosts in early April, which caused damages to production of
some horticultural crops in parts of the country, also caused some
damages to apple and pear production. Both apple and pear production is
estimated to be about 10 percent lower than last year. Fresh table grape
production, however, is estimated to be about the same as it was last
year. Rains, which continue primarily in the Marmara and Black Sea
Regions and northern parts of the Central and Eastern Anatolia Regions,
may further affect the production and lower both the quantity and
quality.

Apples constitute the majority of the Turkey's deciduous fruit crops and
are grown in most parts of the country. However, the production is more
concentrated around Isparta, Karaman, Nigde, Antalya, Eregli, and
Denizli Provinces. About one half of the apples grown in Turkey are Red
Delicious (Starking) and about 30 percent are Golden Delicious apples.
Amasya variety is the primary local variety, which constitutes about ten
percent of the total production. The remaining ten percent is comprised
of all other varieties. Granny Smith, Fuji, Gala, Jonagold, and
Braeburn, are developing fast in Turkey. In addition to a few large
commercial farms, smaller new farms (with a size of about 10 hectares)
are also being established in recent years. All of these farms are being
established with better quality seedlings and higher technology,
including intensive plantings on dwarfing and intermediate vigor
rootstocks.

Pears are another important deciduous fruit and there are many different
varieties that are harvested and marketed in summer or winter. However,
the most common varieties grown in Turkey are Santa Maria, Cascia,
Williams, Ankara, and Deveci. Similar to apples, pears are also grown
throughout the country, but more concentrated around Bursa, Yalova,
Antalya, Ankara, Konya, and Burdur Provinces.

## 

Grapes are very important for Turkey since they are consumed fresh,
dried as raisins (for both domestic and exports markets) and also used
to produce raki (a largely consumed local alcoholic drink) and wine
(which is growing fast in recent years). This report, however, provides
data only for fresh table grapes. Table grapes are grown throughout the
country. Almost every local region has its own variety. Sultana grapes,
which are used primarily to produce raisins, are also being consumed as
fresh table grapes (estimated as ten percent of total sultana
production). The details of this information are presented in the Dried
Fruit Annual report (TU 4012). In recent years, the production of higher
quality table grapes through the use of improved production techniques
in orchards has been increasing. The production data on fresh table
grapes are not available in Turkey. The only production data available
is total grape production. Table grape production is assumed to be one
half of the total grape production by the industry sources. Total grape
production was rather stable during the recent years, which explains why
production estimates remain at 1.75 million tons.

# Consumption

Turkey is estimated to consume about 90 percent of the apples fresh,
process five percent or less, export about one percent and the remainder
is losses. The apple harvest starts in September and prices vary a lot
due to the supply and location. Apple prices are around TL 2,000,000 (or
about USD 1.33) per kilogram in the local grocery stores in Ankara.

Turkey is also estimated to consume about 90 percent of pears fresh,
process less than five percent, three to five percent is exported and
the remainder is losses. Pear prices are around TL 2,250,000 (or about
USD 1.50) per kilogram.

About one half of Turkey's grape production is consumed as table grapes,
35 percent is dried, and 15 percent is processed, primarily for wine. Of
that one half, which is consumed as table grapes, 90 percent is consumed
as fresh, about 5 percent is exported and the remainder is calculated as
losses. PSD consumption data represents fresh table grape consumption
plus losses. Currently, retail prices vary from TL 1,500,000 (or about
USD 1.00) per kilogram to TL 2,500,000 (or about USD 1.67) per kilogram
depending upon the variety and location in the grocery markets in
Ankara.

## 

# Trade

Turkey exports only a small amount of its deciduous fruit production,
even though Europe, Russia, and Middle East are significant markets.
This may be attributed to the cost of production, insufficient
standardization of the fruits, and shortage of the varieties desired by
importing countries. The primary destinations for the most parts of the
Turkey's deciduous fruit exports are the Middle Eastern and the European
markets. Saudi Arabia is the leader for apple and pear exports and
Russia is the leader country for fresh table grape exports. Official
trade data are available through June 2004.

# Stocks

Almost all of apples, pears, and grapes are stored in climate-controlled
storage facilities and sold throughout the year.

# Policy

The GOT does not provide any price support for pears or table grapes.
The GOT announced in the Official Gazette on May 23, 2004, USD 40 per MT
support for apple exports made in between March 1, 2004 and May 31,
2004. The support, however, will not be made as direct payment to
exporters, in stead; it will be accounted against exporters tax, social
security or other payments, such as electricity, to the government.

On January 1, 2004 the GOT reduced the duties for imports of fresh
apples, pears, and table grapes. The new and old duties follow:
