Fruit and vegetable growers anxiously await the result of the summit meeting between Presidents Putin and Erdogan in Turkey today.
Chair of Board of the Turkish Sector of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, Ali Kavak, states that Russia is Turkey’s biggest customer for citrus fruit “In 2015, out of 842 million USD total citrus fruit exported, 295,5 million USD was sold to Russia. This year, in 8 months, the figure has fallen to 45 million USD, a reduction of 51%”.
“We are expecting our fresh fruit and vegetable export issues to be solved at the meeting” added Kavak.
