Dried apricot production 2022/2023
With regard to dried apricot production this year, however, the published data should be viewed more critically. With 90,000 mt, Turkey's estimate is already a good 5% behind last year's result, but the reports of frost and hail damage in recent weeks suggest that production could have been significantly worse. Without taking these damages into account, global production is currently estimated at 170,300 mt, not even 2% less than last year. The coming weeks will have to show how big the difference really is. Independently, experts also speak of a production deficit in Iran and China compared to last year, while in countries like Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan a yield increase is currently expected.
