The production of organic fresh vegetables in Turkey saw a significant fluctuation over the past decade. After a sharp decline between 2013 and 2015, there was a notable rebound in 2016 and consistent growth until 2018. However, from 2018 to 2021, the trend was rather volatile with some decline. In 2022, a remarkable 36.49% increase brought production to 42.58 thousand metric tons. In 2023, production stood at 40.12 thousand metric tons, experiencing a slight drop by 5.78% compared to the previous year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years was -1.05%.
Forecasts indicate a stable upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with consistent increases each year. The projected CAGR for the next five years is 1.76%, suggesting moderate growth. However, watch for any potential shifts in agricultural policies, climate change impacts, and market demands which could affect production trends.
