Turkish fig season to continue until the end of October

 

Having started exporting fruits and vegetables in 1994, today, Aksun is known as a reliable supplier to over 25 countries worldwide. 

The current fig campaign in Mersin (Turkey), the region where the company is based, is going well, according to Akın Söyleyen, Marketing Manager at Aksun.

“We have started the season in mid August and still continue to ship worldwide. The supply has been good at the start of the season with large sizes but then dropped, since the last rains affected the sizing and supply significantly.”, says the manager. 

This year, Aksun’s fig export volumes have doubled compared to 2021. “We have started strong with our shipments to the Far East and the European Union. Due to the hot weather in Europe this year the demand was not high at the beginning but is starting to increase this week onwards. We are expecting this trend to continue during the rest of the season which will last until the end of October.”

On October 4-6, Aksun will participate in Fruit Attraction 2022 in Madrid (Spain). “We will be present at Fruit Attraction and would like all the visitors to pay a visit to our booth 10A03C”, concluded Akın Söyleyen.
