Roughly 25-30 years ago while Turkey had been exporting hazelnut to 32 countries, thanks to hard efforts, now exports not only in-shelled but also all processed types of hazelnut to 95 countries. The majority of exports are shipped to European Association countries. Almost 82 percent of total exports are directed to EU. Italy is the leading importer of processed and unprocessed Turkish hazelnuts with a share of approximately 28,2 percent of the total , followed by Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Austria, Russia and Poland. |

| In addition to
these, other overseas countries along with the Middle Eastern Countries emerge as
potential markets for Turkish Hazelnuts. In 2006, including processed kernels, Turkish total hazelnut export realized as 247.186 tons and 1.467.017.317 $ respectively. Additionally, kernels are sized according to buyers’ requirements, with a difference of one or two mm, between nine and sixteen mm. Turkish government experts control and check exports to assure that hazelnuts conform to the above mentioned standards. |

Examining Turkey’s processed hazelnut exports over the past five years, it may be observed that there is steady increase in export volume. Turkey intends on continuing to expend its export of processed hazelnuts, while at the same time introducing new processed forms to world markets. |
