Citrus Season (Lemon, Orange, Mandarin, Grapefruit)

Our citrus season in Mersin, Adana, and the Aegean region spans nearly the entire year, with peak availability for oranges and lemons from December to May and mandarins from December to March. Grapefruit and lemon supplies remain strong through all 12 months, thanks to extended harvest windows and controlled‑atmosphere storage. These Turkish citrus harvest calendars help buyers identify the best time to buy Turkish citrus for juicing, processing, and fresh consumption.

Stone Fruit Season (Cherry, Peach, Apricot)

Stone fruits have a concentrated but intense season. Cherries are available from May to June, immediately followed by peaches and apricots from June to October. These harvest windows are closely tied to the warm climate and long sunshine hours in Anatolia’s fruit‑growing regions, offering high‑Brix, juicy fruit suitable for export and retail channels.

Year‑Round Vegetables (Tomato, Pepper, Cucumber, Eggplant, Zucchini, Onion, Garlic, Potato)

Seasonal vegetable export from Turkey benefits from greenhouse and open‑field production cycles, enabling year‑round availability of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini, onions, garlic, and potatoes. These Turkish vegetables support consistent supply for international buyers while maintaining freshness through controlled‑temperature handling and modern post‑harvest quality management.

Türkiye’s diverse micro‑climates—spanning the Mediterranean warmth of Mersin and Adana, the fertile Aegean plains, and continental Anatolian highlands—enable extended harvest windows and overlapping production seasons. This ensures continuous availability of Turkish fresh produce, even outside traditional growing seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you supply off‑season fresh produce from Turkey?

Yes. For certain fruits and vegetables, we combine early‑ripening varieties, greenhouse cultivation, and modern cold‑storage (Ulo / controlled atmospheric storage) to extend supply beyond the main harvest period, ensuring consistent availability for international buyers.

What cold‑storage options do you offer for extending shelf life?

We use refrigerated cold rooms and, where applicable, Ulo (controlled‑atmosphere) storage for apples, citrus, and some stone fruits to slow ripening and extend shelf life while maintaining flavor and firmness.

How does climate affect Turkish harvest dates?

Mild Mediterranean winters and long, sunny springs in regions like Mersin and Adana advance early‑season crops, while cooler continental zones extend autumn harvests. This geographical diversity creates staggered harvest calendars and reduces the risk of off‑season gaps.

Do you offer historic or forecasted availability data for seasonal planning?

Yes. We provide historic Turkish fruit harvest calendar data and season‑based forecasts for major commodities, helping buyers plan long‑term contracts around pomegranate season Turkey, best time to buy Turkish citrus, and off‑season storage needs.

How do you manage price and volume fluctuations during peak versus off‑season periods?

During peak season, we benefit from high volumes and lower unit costs, which we pass on via competitive pricing. For off‑season supply, we rely on controlled‑storage stocks and greenhouse production, with transparency on higher logistics and storage costs communicated in advance to buyers.
