2016 Turkish hazelnut exports total $1.98B
"last year Turkish exporters earned $1.98 billion from 227,556 tons of hazelnut exports, mainly to Italy, France and Germany, which have robust food industries to process the nuts." Sevinc said.
Sevinc also stated that the Turkish hazelnut industry earned around $2.83 billion from hazelnut exports in 2015 from 240,137 tons shipped.
With the lowering value of the Turkish Lira compared to the U.S. dollar, Turkish goods became much cheaper for customers abroad. Turkey's revenues from hazelnut exports fell from the previous year, while export volume increased.
