The kiwifruit harvest season has started in Yalova’s Subaşı village, north-western Turkey, which contributes to 60% of the country’s total kiwifruit production.
Chair of Kiwifruit Growers Association, Mustafa Tunali, says they expect a total yield of 20,00 tons from the village this year.
“Subaşı is the heart of kiwifruit production for Turkey. The number of growers has now reached 300 thanks to government support and it continues to increase”.
Harvest season has opened with a festival attended by the local governor, mayor, MP and the public.
