We Buy Your Apricots, Kernels, and Shells in Elbistan
Türkiye's fourth-largest plain; massive apricot plantations in recent years. Late frost risk exists, but in years it misses, yield can be strong enough to affect the market.
Elbistan, Türkiye's fourth-largest plain, has been home to massive apricot plantations in recent years. Although the risk of late spring frost is high, in years frost doesn't hit, the resulting yield can be strong enough to affect price balances in the market. The land structure suits large-scale commercial farming.
This scale makes Elbistan an important region for high-tonnage buying. We evaluate crop coming from the Elbistan plain as well as the Afşin–Göksun–Ekinözü line.
