**Report Highlights:**

Tree nut production is estimated lower in MY 2004. Hazelnut and
pistachio production were affected by frosts in early spring. Hazelnut
damage occurred in the eastern Black Sea region, which normally accounts
for about 70 percent of total production. However, production in the
western Black Sea region was higher than normal. Hazelnut production is
currently estimated around 425,000 MT. Hazelnut export prices reached
record high levels during the recent weeks. FISKOBIRLIK announced a
record high procurement price,

TL 5,050,000 per kilogram of Levant type hazelnuts (in shell). Exports
in MY 2004 are estimated to decline due to smaller supplies.

# Executive Summary

Turkey had an unusual year for hazelnut production. Forecasts for MY
2004 were very favorable in early spring. Frosts in early April however,
reversed all expectations. Temperatures dropped as low as --8 C
especially in the hilly parts of the eastern Black Sea, which accounts
for more than half of total production. Production estimates from
traders and trade associations vary, from 329,000 MT to 500,000 MT.
Small farm size, as well as the high variation in frost damage from farm
to farm (influenced largely by farm altitude) are reasons for the
variations in production estimates. Trade sources also indicate that
FISKOBIRLIK, which cites relatively low production estimates, has an
interest in supporting its members -- all of whom are hazelnut producers
-- by providing the market low production estimates. As a result, these
low estimates are largely disregarded.

FISKOBIRLIK did not procure many hazelnuts during the last two years. As
a result, stocks are not available to support the shortfall. Industry
sources indicate that low hazelnut production in two successive years
only happens once in a hundred years. As a result, hazelnut prices
increased dramatically in recent months reaching record highs, around
USD 675 per 100 kilogram of natural whole kernels and USD 750 per 100
kilogram of roasted whole kernels. Stocks are virtually nonexistent at
this point.

FISKOBIRLIK recently announced the procurement prices as TL 5,050,000
(or about USD 3.40) per kilogram for the majority of (Levant type in
shell) MY 2004 crop hazelnuts. Giresun type, which had very low
production in MY 2004, received a premium of TL 200,000 per kilogram and
black oval and pointed hazelnuts received a deduction of TL 300,000 per
kilogram. These are gross prices and the price farmers receive is
calculated by deducting 11.6 percent tax and commission from these
prices. Traders are expected to pay TL 200,000 or 300,000 per kilogram
below the Fiskobirlik prices. As an Agricultural Sales Cooperative
Union, Fiskobirlik is not obliged to purchase all of the hazelnuts
offered by farmers. Likewise, it cannot expect any direct support from
the Treasury and as such cannot operate at a loss (buying at high prices
and selling at low prices to support farmers).

Turkey accounts for about eighty percent of world hazelnut trade. Export
prices varied greatly in MY 2003. Export prices were around USD 225 per
100 kilogram for whole natural kernels at the beginning of the season.
Prices remained low as FISKOBIRLIK sold its stocks of old-crop
hazelnuts. As the season developed, export prices began to increase.
Most exports were sold at around USD 400 per 100 kilogram. Export prices
jumped after the frosts in early April. Current export prices were
reported around USD 675 per 100 kilogram for whole natural kernels and
USD 750 per 100 kilogram for roasted whole kernels. MY 2004 exports are
expected to decline to 400,000 MT.

Following a record high year, pistachio production is estimated to be
significantly lower in MY 2004 due to cyclical production and a severe
spring frost, which also adversely affected production. A procurement
price for pistachios is expected to be announced although significant
quantities are not expected to be procured. Walnut consumption increased
significantly in recent years because of the availability of low cost
imported walnuts. Almond consumption declined due to supplies of
inexpensive pistachios and walnuts in Turkey. The United States is the
major supplier of almonds to Turkey.

There is a 43.2 percent duty on the CIF value of all types of in shell
and shelled tree nut imports. The duty is 58.5 percent on processed tree
nut product imports.

The current exchange rate is about USD 1.00 = TL 1,480,000 compared to
TL 1,400,000 a year ago.

# Production

## Hazelnuts

MY 2005 (September 2005 -- August 2006) hazelnut production is forecast
to be higher than the current year as long as weather conditions remain
normal. Increased area will contribute to production levels. Traders
estimate that Turkey has the capability to produce 750,000 MT with good
weather conditions. Production is currently forecast at 600,000 MT (in
shell).

Early estimates for the 2004 crop were good with production possibly
exceeding 700,000 MT. However, a frost in early April severely affected
the crop particularly in the eastern Black Sea region. Most producers
and traders agree that more than half of the production in that area was
damaged. Orchards located in the higher elevations (300 meters and
above) were especially hurt. This was partially offset by increases in
the western Provinces, which was much higher than expected. The western
provinces produce about 175,000 MT normally, but in 2004 production is
estimated at about 275,000 MT. Similarly, eastern provinces produce
about 450,000 MT, but the production is estimated at only 150,000 MT in
MY 2004.

Estimates for total hazelnut production vary a lot. The Ministry of
Agriculture estimates the production at 329,000 MT. FISKOBIRLIK
estimates it at 358,000 MT. During a recent trip to the Black Sea,
traders estimated production between 375,000 MT and 500,000 MT.

The GOT has been trying to reduce area for hazelnut production in order
to avoid surpluses. With World Bank support, 580 hectares of land was
taken out of production. However, this was offset by an increase in new
orchards during the same period. Although there is a regulation limiting
growing areas to land with a minimum 5% slope, area has increased during
the last twenty years in all regions of the Black Sea. With little
enforcement, area is expected to continue to increase due to favorable
prices.

Turkey is the world's leading hazelnut producer, accounting for about 75
percent of world supply. Hazelnut production is primarily concentrated
along Turkey's Black Sea coast, extending about 25 kilometers inland.
The region is divided into three distinct growing areas: 1) the hilly
region from Ordu to Trabzon, centered around Giresun, which in a normal
year produces about 55 percent of the crop, 2) the flatter, mixed
farming region west of Ordu to Samsun, which produces about 15 percent
of the crop, and 3) the area west of Samsun, which produces the
remaining 30 percent. Hazelnuts require relatively little effort to
cultivate and therefore inputs are low. Harvesting occurs for several
weeks in August.

Hazelnut production is the single most important industry in the Black
Sea region. The total number of growers is estimated at about 400,000.
There is no systematic crop-survey system but best estimates put total
area at about 650,000 hectares, which is expected to grow slightly. Most
eastern producers grow hazelnuts on 1 -- 2 HA and use sales to
supplement other income. There are only a few large growers (10 MT or
more annually). On the other hand, most central and western farmers have
10 to 15 hectare orchards.

FISKOBIRLIK, which has 50 member cooperatives and about 246,000 member
farmers and three sister companies for processing and marketing of
processed products, is the most influential organization in the
industry. Since the introduction of the direct income support program,
sales cooperatives, like FISKOBIRLIK, are not allowed to procure
commodities at a loss. Procurement is kept separate from processing and
marketing to avoid losses.

Hazelnut yields vary between 700 and 1,500 kilograms per hectare
depending upon location and fertility of the land. Yields are lower on
hillsides and higher in the valley. Yields are also dependent on the age
of the trees, which tend to be older (thus with a lower yield) in the
Eastern Black Sea Regions. Kernel or "meat" yield (in shell to shelled
conversion) are not known yet, but are expected to be around 52-54
percent in MY 2004.

Nut quality is determined by type, oil and moisture content, and numbers
of broken/shrunken kernels. Turkey produces three types of hazelnuts:
Giresun, Levant, and Akcakoca. Giresun hazelnuts (round shape) are
reputed to be the highest quality and have the best taste because of
their higher oil content. Giresun hazelnuts are used generally in snack
foods while Levant hazelnuts are sold as whole kernels or processed. As
a rule, Giresun hazelnuts command a five percent premium over Levant
varieties. Akcakoca hazelnuts are processed into paste. Kernel size and
moisture content are also measures of quality. Standard #1 is 13-15 mm,
#2 is 11-13 mm, and #3 is 9-11 mm.

FISKOBIRLIK announced the MY 2004 procurement prices on August 6, 2004
with Giresun nut receiving TL 5,250,000 (or about USD 3.55) per
kilogram, Levant receiving TL 5,050,000 (or about USD 3.40) per kilogram
and Akcakoca receiving TL 4,750,000 (or about USD 3.20) per kilogram.
The majority of the hazelnuts produced in Turkey are Levant type (about
75 percent in a normal year). These prices are almost a hundred percent
higher than the base price announced a year ago (TL 2,500,000 or about
USD 1.78 per kilogram). However, FISKOBIRLIK paid additional TL 550,000
per kilogram to farmers after market prices went up last year. The
Director General of FISKOBIRLIK stated recently that the prices for MY
2004 are gross prices. Most farmers will receive TL 4,464,000 per
kilogram for Levant type after tax and other deductions (a total of 11.6
percent). Traders will be offering TL 200,000 - TL 300,000 per kilogram
less than FISKOBIRLIK. Buying is scheduled to begin after August 20,
2004. FISKOBIRLIK is not required to procure the entire crop from its
members. Instead, by announcing a closing date for buying FISKOBIRLIK
can limit the quantity it procures and also can make payments in cash.
(All prices are in shell.)

Aflatoxin is a major industry concern. However, due to changes in
harvesting, there were reported to be no problems in the 2003 crop and
none is expected for the 2004 crop. The Hazelnut Promotion Group (HPG)
is financing aflatoxin research in Turkish hazelnuts. The HPG, with
representatives from the Black Sea and Istanbul Exporters Union and
officials from the Foreign Trade Undersecretariat is responsible for
domestic and foreign promotion and research and development. Exporters
finance HPG activities with funds from sales.

## Pistachios

Pistachio production is highly cyclical and can vary a great deal. MY
2004 was expected to be a poor year because Turkey had record production
in MY 2003. In addition, frosts affected production. MY 2004 production
has been lowered to 30,000 MT. MY 2005 production is projected to be
approximately 75,000 MT. MY 2003 production was revised slightly
downward based on new industry information.

GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK, which is a sales cooperative, procured 1,700 MT of
pistachios at TL 3,000,000 per kilogram in MY 2003. Although pistachio
production was high and prices low, GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK bought only a very
small proportion of the crop because of financial difficulties.
GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK announced its price two months after the harvest was
completed and stopped buying shortly after. GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK did not
receive any financial assistance from the GOT. Last year's in-shell crop
is currently priced at TL 5,500,000 a kilogram in Gaziantep. No prices
have been announced for the 2004 crop.

Pistachios are mainly produced in the Southeastern Anatolia Region.
Official data indicate continued production increases in the
Southeastern Anatolia, where pistachios are replacing olive trees.
Sanliurfa province has about twice as many trees as Gaziantep, the
traditional growing area. Turkish pistachios are thinner and smaller
than Iranian pistachios. Siirt pistachios are similar to Iranian
pistachios, although the shape is different. Siirt pistachios, about 15
percent of the total production, are bigger and commend higher prices on
the market than the traditional Turkish pistachios. In Turkey size is
directly related to quality: 90 nuts or less per 100 grams is considered
first quality, 90-100 nuts are second quality, 100-120 nuts are third
quality, and above 120 nuts are fourth quality.

## Walnuts

Walnuts grow throughout most of Turkey. During the past two decades,
increased demand and good prices have encouraged walnut cultivation. The
Horticultural Research Institute (HRI) in Yalova is the leading walnut
research facility in Turkey. Higher yielding varieties have been
developed in this institute although only a few of these varieties have
been planted commercially. Several private companies have also begun
commercial propagation of improved walnut varieties.

Due to increased trees and better varieties, production is expected to
increase. Most private sources believe that production in any year is
around 70,000 MT (in shell basis at a conversion factor of 1:2.5). The
lack of systematic crop survey make it difficult to accurately estimate
the crop. Production in MY 2004 is estimated at 68,000 MT due to
unfavorable weather conditions.

## Almonds

Almonds are a minor crop in Turkey. Even though they are grown
throughout the country, production is concentrated in the Aegean,
Marmara, and Mediterranean Regions. Almonds were not cultivated as a
commercial crop until recently. Variety selection during the past 25
years has resulted in an improvement of local varieties. Almond
production is estimated to be slightly lower at 13,000 MT in MY 2004,
due to unfavorable weather conditions. PSD production estimates are
based on shelled basis at a conversion factor of 1:3.

## 

# Consumption

## Hazelnuts

Processors and traders purchase most hazelnuts. The five largest
processors/traders account for over 40 percent of the consumption, even
though there are approximately 350 processors/traders in Turkey. Most of
the industry is not vertically integrated. There are approximately 170
hazelnut crackers in Turkey with a total capacity of 1.25 MMT (in
shell), while the 20 largest processors have a total capacity of 300,000
MT (in shell). Most hazelnuts are exported, or processed for export.

Hazelnuts are also a popular snack food in Turkey and the majority are
consumed as whole nuts. With the devaluation of the Turkish Lira and
availability of large quantities of hazelnuts, hazelnut prices
encouraged consumption in recent years. Industry sources estimated the
domestic consumption at around 80,000 MT (in shell), as both snack food
and for confectionary. FISKOBIRLIK also crushed older crops for oil,
which added to consumption. This year, FISKOBIRLIK does not have large
quantities of stocks. In addition, high prices may reduce the
consumption significantly. The current retail price for shelled roasted
hazelnuts in Ankara is about TL 18,000,000 (about USD 12.20) per
kilogram. Retail prices were about TL 10,000,000 per kilogram in 2002
and 2003. The rate of inflation for the last twelve months was around 9
percent.

## Pistachios

Pistachios are a popular snack food and are also are used in making
pastries and sweets in Turkey. Pistachios even find their way into
sausages in Turkey. Most of the crop is consumed domestically and
consumption varies on the supply.

Currently, the retail price for in shell, roasted Gaziantep pistachios
is around TL 15,000,000 (or about USD 10.14) per kilogram. This price is
only slightly higher than the price at the beginning of MY 2003.
However, the MY 2003 price decreased dramatically due to record
production. At one point, roasted pistachios were priced at about TL
8,000,000 per kilogram in Ankara. Carry-over stocks were reduced
significantly as these prices stimulated consumption.

## Walnuts

Per capita walnut consumption increased recently due to the availability
of inexpensive imported walnuts. It is estimated that about fifty
percent of domestic production is used for home consumption and the
remainder is marketed commercially. Most walnuts are consumed directly.
Retail prices for shelled walnuts vary a lot due to quality differences.
It is possible to buy walnuts as low as TL 10,000,000 (or about USD
6.75) a kilogram, however, good quality domestically grown walnuts are
sold at about TL 20,000,000 (or about USD 13.50) a kilogram in the
retail market in Ankara.

## Almonds

The availability of inexpensive pistachios and walnuts reduced almond
consumption slightly in MY 2003. Reduced almond consumption is expected
to continue in MY 2004 and MY 2005. Almonds are generally consumed whole
as a snack food and only limited amounts are used in confectionary
products. The retail price of shelled sweet roasted almonds in Ankara is
about TL 25,000,000 (or about USD 16.90) a kilogram. As almonds are
still more expensive than hazelnuts, there is not expected to be
significant substitution from hazelnuts to almonds as a snack food.

# Trade

## Hazelnuts

Turkey accounts for about eighty percent of world hazelnut trade. Export
prices varied greatly in MY 2003. Export prices were around USD 225 per
100 kilogram for whole natural kernels at the beginning of the season.
Prices remained low as FISKOBIRLIK eliminated stocks. As the season
developed, export prices began to increase. Most exports were sold at
around USD 400 per 100 kilogram. Export prices jumped after the frosts
in early April. Current export prices were reported around USD 675 per
100 kilogram for whole natural kernels and USD 750 per 100 kilogram for
roasted whole kernels.

The European Union is the major market for Turkish hazelnuts. Shipping
by trucks on a CIF basis is becoming more popular in recent years with
most sales made to traders. About seventy percent of Turkey's hazelnut
exports are raw kernels and remaining processed, including roasted,
sliced, chopped, paste, meal, and flour. Very few hazelnuts are exported
as finished consumer confectionary items. The trend, however, is to move
from raw kernel exports to processed and finished products for value
added.

In addition to a shift in the export product mix, Turkey is also hoping
to expand its market presence in the Far East, Former Soviet Union, and
the United States. Industry representatives in Turkey closely monitor
the U.S. hazelnut and almond industry.

Official trade data for hazelnuts for MY 2003 is not available.
According to data from the Black Sea Exporters Union, Turkey exported
214,656 MT of hazelnuts (shelled basis) from September 1, 2003 through
August 6, 2004. Exports for corresponding period was 251,345 MT in MY
2002 and 252,035 MT in MY 2001. The total value for the exports was USD
864 million in MY 2003, compared to USD 580 million in MY 2002 and USD
627 million in MY 2001. MY 2004 exports are projected to be lower at
400,000 MT due to short supply, although they may generate more revenue
due to high prices.

The Export Trade Matrix for hazelnuts represents unofficial data
received from the Black Sea Exporters Union.

## Pistachios

Turkey exports only a small proportion of its production, mainly to the
EU and the United States. Exports in MY 2004 are expected to be lower
due to lower supply and higher prices.

## Walnuts

Walnut trade is conducted primarily with neighboring countries. Imports
are from Central Asian countries and exports to the Middle East.

## Almonds

Total almond imports declined slightly in MY 2003 due to the
availability of inexpensive pistachios and walnuts. It is also projected
that imports will remain low in MY 2004 and MY 2005. While total almond
imports are relatively stagnant, the United States has been capturing a
larger market share. In previous years, U.S. almond exports may have
reached Turkey through third countries. Currently, U.S. Trade Data
indicate that U.S. almond exports are at record levels. Turkish almond
exports are few and sold mainly to the Middle East and EU.

# Stocks

## Hazelnuts

Current hazelnut stocks are at minimal levels. FISKOBIRLIK bought about
8,000 MT of hazelnuts (in shell) in MY 2003 and sold all of it in recent
months. The entire 2002 crop has been sold. Most of the 2001 stocks were
also sold in recent months. FISKOBIRLIK may have around 25,000 MT of
stocks, the quality of which is not known and expected to be low. Some
traders bought some of the FISKOBIRLIK stocks to hedge themselves and
there may be stocks at some processing facilities. Farmers may still
have some stocks from the MY 2003 crop. FISKOBIRLIK's crushing hazelnuts
for oil will be minimized in MY 2004 and will be zero in MY 2005 due to
high prices and low stocks.

## Pistachios, Walnuts, and Almonds

Data on pistachio, walnut, and almond stocks are not available.
Pistachio stocks vary a lot from one year to another depending on
supply. Due to the large production in MY 2003, there are large
quantities (estimated around 40,000 MT) going into MY 2004 as carry-over
stocks. Walnut and almond stocks also vary a lot due to the market
conditions. Stocks usually represent around 10-20 percent of the
production.

# Policy

# Production Policy

## Hazelnuts

In order to reduce surpluses, the GOT, with help from the World Bank,
tried to decrease the growing area by promoting alternative crops and
direct income support for farmers. While 580 hectares of hazelnut
orchards were planted with other crops, this was offset by expansion in
other areas due to high revenues from hazelnuts compared to most other
crops. The industry is concerned that increases will create surpluses
and depress prices in the near future. According to a Turkish Law,
hazelnuts may be grown only in the hilly sides, with a minimum five
percent slope, in the Black Sea region. Hazelnut growing areas, however,
increased during the last two decades. Current high prices are expected
to hamper any efforts to reduce hazelnut acreage.

# 

## Pistachios

In keeping with the government's liberalization program to privatize
marketing channels, the GOT stopped direct support and allowed
GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK to announce a support price, which more closely
reflected market conditions. GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK only procured 1,700 MT in
MY 2003, which was a record high production year. GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK is
planning to announce a procurement price in MY 2004 however, it is not
clear whether GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK can buy any pistachios, since the market
prices are expected to be high.

## Walnuts and Almonds

Walnuts and almonds are not considered important commercial crops and
receive no government support. There also have no producer associations
or marketing cooperatives.

# Trade Policy

## Hazelnuts

FISKOBIRLIK recently announced a high price for procurement. Traders
have complained that the announced price will reduce exports. They claim
that international hazelnut users will be looking for other suppliers,
such as Italy and/or begin searching for other substitutes, such as
almonds and peanuts. Other traders claim that the substitution of
almonds and peanuts for hazelnuts will be limited and most companies
will be buying hazelnuts even at the high prices. If these industries do
seek substitutes in the long term, it will mean fewer exports and larger
stocks.

## 

The export tax for whole shelled hazelnuts remains at USD 10 per 100
kilograms. There is no export tax on exports of processed hazelnut
products.

## 

## Pistachios, Walnuts, and Almonds

There is no subsidy, tax, or other restriction on pistachio, walnut, and
almond exports.

Importers pay a 43.2 percent duty on the CIF value of all types of tree
nuts and a 58.5 percent duty on all processed tree nut products.

# Marketing

## Turkey's Market Promotion Activities

Turkey hopes to expand its hazelnut markets, mainly in the Far East,
especially in Japan and China, in addition to efforts to shift its
export product mix. Most export commodities are represented by an
Exporters Union in Turkey under the Undersecretariat of Foreign Trade.
Members, which are mostly private traders, provide operating capital.
There are two hazelnut exporters unions; the largest is being the Black
Sea Exporters Union, which is located in Giresun, and one is in
Istanbul. GUNEYDOGUBIRLIK in Gaziantep is the sole exporter union for
pistachios. The unions follow domestic and trade issues, provide
information, conduct market studies, and sponsor promotional events.
