What Is Large Yellow Apricot No: 3? & The Supply Process
Large Yellow Apricot No: 3 is a first-class commercial apricot containing 121 to 140 fruits per kilogram, standing out for its size and smooth texture. Although its size is quite close to the higher calibres, it is the most in-demand calibre among both domestic wholesalers and international packers due to the cost advantage it offers per kilogram.
With its bright golden-yellow color, homogeneous size distribution, and fleshy aroma, it offers eye-catching appeal on shelves. It is prepared from high-sugar apricots grown in Malatya's distinctive microclimate.
Akyel Kayısı ensures calibre consistency for No: 3 large-size apricots by having them sorted and cartoned at contracted facilities, so that the fruit's form is preserved without crushing even during long-distance export shipments.
