Turkish media reports that compared to the previous season, export volumes increased by 32% in quantitative terms, from 44,000 to 58,000 tons, in monetary terms by 50% - from $134.8 to $201.1 million.

The United States is the largest buyer of Turkish olive oil with $75 million followed by Spain ($24 million), Japan ($17 million), Saudi Arabia ($10 million) and the United Arab Emirates ($5 million).

Georgia is also among the importers of Turkish olive oil, but still this product is mainly imported from Italy, which accounts for 35% of the total consumption. The second is Spain with 25%.

Turkey accounts for 15% of the total imports.

It’s worth mentioning that Georgia started the olive oil production but its share in total consumption is small.
