Export & Retail Chains
International quality control and calibre standards: from Europe's strict pesticide/sulphur limits to Gulf countries' demand for Jumbo sizes, we meet the shelf needs of chain retailers.
In the global retail food market, shelf continuity, colour homogeneity and food codex compliance are the most fundamental success criteria. For the yellow apricots we export, Akyel Kayısı carefully monitors sulphur content, moisture content and calibre sizing deviations.
In our 10 kg and 12.5 kg international food-grade cartons, we deliver bulk or packaged shipments on pallets or by container directly to many countries worldwide and to supermarket chain warehouses across Türkiye.
