We Buy Your Apricots, Kernels, and Shells in Baskil
Although administratively part of Elazığ, production is fully integrated into the Malatya market. Resilient, high-quality Kabaaşı and Hacıhaliloğlu grow mixed along the Fırat valley.
Although Baskil is administratively part of Elazığ, the apricots it produces are fully integrated into the Malatya market. The villages stretching along the valley formed by the Fırat River mostly yield a mix of Kabaaşı and Hacıhaliloğlu varieties, resilient and high in quality. Product usually crosses to Malatya by ferry or via Kömürhan.
The region's early harvest and tendency toward large calibre are among the factors that set Baskil apart. We buy directly for apricots, kernels, and shells coming from Baskil center and its villages.
Leading Production Areas in Baskil
The main villages that stand out in Baskil production:
Çavuşlu
Known as the heart of Baskil production; regional yield forecasts are usually discussed based on the state of the trees here.
Kuşsarayı
A village on the shore of Karakaya Reservoir with a microclimate advantage that boosts both yield and fruit size.
Kadıköy
A region where the shift from dry to irrigated farming has markedly increased yield, with heavy buying activity.
Şefkat
On its sloped terrain, long sun exposure is said to bring color and brix (sugar) ratio closer to exporter expectations.
Pınarlı
An important supply point with productive orchards, whose proximity to the reservoir shore reduces frost risk.
If your village isn't listed, write to us anyway; we consider purchases from all of Baskil and neighboring areas.
