"Majority of Turkish cherry export goes to Eastern Europe"

Europe: Minimal cherry supply does not result in higher prices

The demand for cherries is limited at the moment. According to a Dutch importer, that is actually for the best, because the supply is a lot less than it was in the last few years. The Spanish season has ended and the Turkish season started late. "Most of the Turkish cherries are exported to Eastern Europe. Apparently countries such as Russia, Poland and the Ukraine are willing and able to pay more. In these locations, the cherry prices will not have difficulties increasing due to lack of demand."

"Due to trends in the last few years, the softer cherry varieties are no longer being exported. Normally the Turkish season would have already started in the beginning of June, but now it really needs to break loose," the importer continues. "Just like Greece, Turkey has also been pounded with significant rain storms. That is not good for quality. I do expect demand to improve in the coming weeks."
