Dried Tomatoes

In 2024, the Turkish sun-dried tomato harvest has experienced significant changes. Ideally, the production level for processing sun-dried tomatoes in Turkey ranges from 2.20 to 2.25 million tons of raw tomatoes. When production drops below this range, as it has in previous years, the cost of raw materials tends to rise, affecting the entire industry.

At present, there is a scarcity of specific details regarding the 2024 sun-dried tomato harvest in Malatya. Nevertheless, general reports suggest that Turkish regions renowned for sun-dried tomatoes, including Malatya, have encountered difficulties such as fluctuating weather conditions and market competition, affecting both production and quality.
