An Overview of Almond Cultivation in Turkey

Abstract: High level of adaptation to difficult environmental conditions and
high demand in the market, made almond cultivation popular in recent
years. Therefore, almond cultivation is continuously rising in Turkey and in
the world. The purpose of this study is to define new production techniques
for the future, by examining parameters such as almond cultivation
production potential in Turkey, provincial distribution, varieties, rootstocks
and yields, marketing and price policies, followed by a statistical
assessment. According to 2016 FAO data, world almond production is
3.214.303 tons, and the biggest almond producer is the United States of
America by 2.002.742 tons, followed by Spain in second place by 202.339
tons, Iran in third place by 147.863 tons, while Turkey is ranked seventh by
85.000 tons. Examining statistical data for the past three years, there is an
increase in export figures in the world almond trade, and a decrease in
import figures. The biggest almond exporter in the world is the United
States of America by 481.448 tons, followed by Spain by 68.046 tons and
Australia by 32.293 tons. Examining almond production per province in
Turkey, Mersin is leading by 9.856 tons, Muğla is ranked second by 5.972
tons while Antalya is just behind by 5.942 tons. In Turkey, many
commercially grown domestic and foreign varieties are being found.
However, the biggest issue in almond cultivation in Turkey is the late frosts
during spring. In recent years, particularly in Spain, dwarf rootstocks are
being used in almond production and mechanical harvesting technology is
developing.
