The World’s Hazelnut Capital: Turkey
Turkey, the largest producer of hazelnuts in the world,
accounts for 75% of global production by itself. In the 2012-
2013 season, Turkey continued its lead, exporting 301,000
tons of hazelnut kernels in that period. In Turkey, hazelnut
production is concentrated in the Black Sea region, mostly in
the provinces of Giresun, Ordu, Trabzon, and Rize. The
majority of Turkey’s hazelnut production is exported, as the domestic market consumes just 11–12%.
