Turkish mango grower Mustafa Ezici believes his nation may become an important player in the global market, mainly because the harvest season for Turkish mango is between August and December, a time when mangoes are least abundant in the world. Ezici started production mangoes eight years ago in the Alanya district of the province of Antalya.
“This offers opportunities for Turkey. We can sell mangos for $7 to $8 when there is not much of this produce available in the global market,” Ezici said. There is an immense demand for mangoes from Russia but there is not sufficient product to export, says Ezici. Turkey has potential to export 100,000 tons of mangoes to Russia.
