The name of the Istanbul Hazelnut
Exporters' Association that was constituted in 1951 within the structure of Istanbul Exporters'
Associations General Secretariat has been changed to Istanbul Dried Fruit and Products
Exporters' Association in 1986 , and included other dried fruits within its scope of occupation
as well as hazelnuts. However more than 95% of the exports realised were hazelnut exports,
therefore on September 14 th. 1991 “Istanbul Hazelnut and Products Exporters'
Association”
was founded in order together all exporters under the same roof and its scope of
occupation was defined as hazelnut and hazelnut products.
In
1999, 31.2% of the Turkey’s Hazelnut Exportation was
realized by Istanbul Hazelnut and Products Exporters'
Association.
