Between 2015 and 2023, the harvested area for subtropical and tropical fruits in Türkiye evidenced a consistent growth trajectory, increasing from 58.0 to 79.8 thousand hectares. This reflects a robust expansion with notable peaks in specific years, particularly in 2020 which witnessed a 6.15% increase. The CAGR from 2020 to 2023 was 4.97%, indicative of steady progress in recent years.
Significant year-on-year variations include a 7.25% increase from 2020 to 2021 and a 6.76% rise from 2021 to 2022, demonstrating a period of accelerated growth. However, the growth rate decelerated markedly to 1.01% in 2023. Future forecasts suggest a modest CAGR of 0.78% up to 2028, indicating a potential stabilization in harvested area expansion.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on crop yields, technological advancements in farming practices, and shifts in domestic and international demand for subtropical and tropical fruits. These factors will play a crucial role in shaping the harvested area and production volumes in the coming years.
