Turkey needs strategy to market its rapidly growing olive oil output

Turkey needs both a domestic and international strategy to market its rapidly growing olive oil output, according to Cahit Çetin, the head of Tariş, one of the two leading olive and olive oil unions. “The olive oil yield this year is expected at 190,000 tons. It will exceed 300,000 tons in one or two years under good conditions,” Çetin told Anadolu Agency, adding that the Agriculture Ministry forecasts output to reach 700,000 tons in the near future.
