Türkiye is expected to see a record yield of table olives this year, with production estimated at 750,000 tons, despite challenges posed by the climate crisis.

Mustafa Tan, head of the National Olive and Olive Oil Council, stated that alongside the 750,000 tons of table olives, the country expects to produce 475,000 tons of olive oil for the 2024-2025 season.

Türkiye's olive producers, who faced significant challenges last year with low yield and olive oil prices surpassing 300 Turkish Liras ($9), are optimistic about the upcoming season.

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) forecasts a remarkable 90.8 percent increase in olive production.
