4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

Malatya region is located in the Upper Euphrates basin of the Eastern Anatolia region in Turkey within the latitudes 38°29′03′′N and longitudes 38°08′11′′E. Malatya region composed of city centre and districts, Elazığ-Baskil, Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan, Sivas-Gürün and Adıyaman-Gölbaşı.

5.   Link with the geographical area

Malatya Kayısısı reach the highest quality level in a restricted area composed of Malatya city centre and districts described in point 4 above. This geographical area stands out as a location where the high-quality Malatya Kayısısı are produced in largest amounts as well. Climate and soil attributes of this specific area are very similar to one another and species that are grown are composed of cultivars of Malatya Kayısısı. In areas where Malatya Kayısısı cultivation takes place, soil formation is characterised by slightly alkaline clay-rich loamy soils and loamy soils with high lime contents whose organic substance level is between low and medium. Salinity problems do not exist in soils where apricots are grown. Total useful phosphor contents and variable potassium contents of soils are adequate and at high levels. The average value of data was obtained as a result of analysis of a number of soil samples, belonging to Malatya Kayısısı orchards in Malatya and its surrounding areas.

In the geographical area where Malatya Kayısısı is produced as dried apricot, winters are cold (min – 15 °C), while summers are hot and arid. The annual average temperature is 14-15 °C. The temperatures reaching to 35-45 °C in ripening and drying periods are highly significant for drying of Malatya Kayısısı and humidity is about 25-30 %. Average annual precipitation of the region is 350-400 mm. In the ripening and drying season, the weather must be arid and cloudless because rain is the major factor that deteriorates quality of dry Malatya Kayısısı. Malatya Kayısısı include firm-textured apricot fruits with uniform yellow colour and size that possess rich aroma and sugar content. Malatya Kayısısı can be easily distinguished from other apricots through unique aroma and flavour. The fact that climate conditions particularly during the fruit harvest are perfectly suitable for fruit-drying (that the relative humidity is low and sunlight is abundant) plays a vital role as regards apricot cultivation. Dried Malatya Kayısısı produced by specialist and experienced people using conventional methods, can be distinguished from the ones produced in other regions.

Malatya Kayısısı have perfectly adapted to the climate and soil conditions in the zone. Major factors differentiating this area from other apricot cultivation areas are climate and soil conditions that perfectly suit apricot cultivation as well as drying output of the high quality Malatya Kayısısı cultivar. Malatya Kayısısı trees require dry and hot summers as well as wet and cold winters. The hot and dry climate conditions prevailing during fruit development and ripening period are necessary for cultivation of fruits with a high sugar content. The high contrast in temperature between daytime and night time during the ripening period also contributes significantly to the formation of Malatya Kayısısı’s sugar content.

In order for apricot trees in Malatya to blossom and produce fruits, they need a relatively long winter cooling of 1 100-1 600 hours below a temperature of +7,2 °C. Moreover, Malatya Kayısısı trees ideally grow in slightly alkaline (pH 7,5-8,5) loamy soils with high lime contents. All of these ecological attributes exist in Malatya in the most appropriate manner. While Malatya Kayısısı are produced with the highest quality within the boundaries of abovementioned area, their yielding capacity and drying output reduces, in addition to lowering product quality, when attempt is made to cultivate them outside of this area. Considering this aspect of Malatya Kayısısı, it can be well noted that adaptation capabilities of Malatya Kayısısı cultivars are low.

In the ripening and drying season, the weather must be arid and cloudless. What makes Malatya Kayısısı different from other apricots is that the area in question is a special geographical area and high-quality apricot cultivars which have perfectly adapted to the geographical area exist together. When attempt is made to cultivate Malatya Kayısısı in different areas, material quality losses occur in the fruits depending on changing ecological conditions. Such losses can be summarised as low yielding capacity, low soluble solid content, smaller fruit size, low drying output and low fruit quality. These facts reveal that apricots cultivated in Malatya are different from those grown in other areas. The fact that climate conditions particularly during the fruit harvest are perfectly suitable for fruit-drying (that the relative humidity is low and sunlight is abundant) plays a vital role as regards apricot cultivation

Malatya Kayısısı has been produced in this geographical area for thousands of years. Production, harvesting, sulphuring and drying of Malatya Kayısısı have been performed through the same conventional and natural methods for many years. Malatya Kayısısı always took part in lives of people. Malatya Kayısısı production has become such an art for the citizens of the region that they taught and they continue to teach the details of this work to their children at early ages.

Children being informed, in this way, from the early age about production, harvest and drying and sulphuring of apricot alongside their families means they will carry on the traditions of workmanship and become the specialist producers of the future. The most important factor on drying with high quality of apricot is sulphuring process by experienced personnel. This process requires a particular workmanship, labour and specialisation.

Malatya Kayısısı is particular importance for the province of Malatya. Malatya Kayısısı is a symbol in Malatya province. Also another name of Malatya Province is Apricot Capital of the World. In the province and its districts, the Malatya Kayısısı patterns are even used as a symbol in squares. Also, there are many statute in some of the important squares. Moreover, there is a festival organised specifically for the apricot. Malatya Kayısısı Festival is traditionally organised yearly and celebrated with various events.
