Apricot capital
Türkiye is by far the world leader in the dried apricot trade, and Malatya is the heart of that production. High altitude, harsh winters, hot and dry summers and abundant sunshine give the apricot a unique sugar-acid balance and a plump texture.
Sulphured or sun-dried?
Sulphured apricotSulphured before drying to keep its bright orange colour; SO₂ level compliant with EU legislation.
Sun-dried apricotDried in the sun without sulphur; deep brown colour and an intense, caramel-like taste.

From orchard to table
Every step recorded; every lot traceable.
01 · Carefully from the orchard
Apricots are picked in June–July at full ripeness. Harvest too early and aroma is lost; too late and the fruit bruises — we plan the timing together with our growers.
02 · Powered by nature
The fruit is left in the sun for days on clean drying grounds. Sulphured apricots are treated before drying to keep their colour; sun-dried apricots dry naturally without any treatment.
03 · Decisions based on data
Every batch arriving at the facility gets a lot number and is not processed before moisture, SO₂ and visual defect analysis.
04 · Precise grading
Products are washed, brought to the right moisture balance and graded by size from Jumbo to Size 8 on sizing machines.
05 · Flawless appearance
Camera-based optical sorting catches colour and defect differences; our experienced team performs the final hand check. A metal detector inspects every carton.
06 · Made for your brand
From 12.5 kg cartons to 150 g doypacks; packed to the buyer’s language, barcode and label and marked with a lot number.
07 · To every corner of the world
Container loading plan, export documents and customs procedures are completed; your goods depart from the ports of Mersin and Istanbul.

FAQ
For bulk products the standard shipping unit is one container; mixed loads combining different products in one container and pallet-based part shipments are also possible. For private label retail products the minimum depends on the packaging type.
For dried apricots and figs, size is the number of pieces per kilogram. Jumbo apricots, for example, have 61–80 pieces per kilo; the higher the number, the smaller the fruit. For hazelnuts, size is the kernel diameter in millimetres (9–11, 11–13, 13–15 mm).
Sulphured apricots are treated before drying to keep their bright orange colour, with SO₂ kept within EU limits (< 2000 ppm). Sun-dried apricots dry in the sun without any additive and are dark brown with a caramel-like taste.
Yes. With our private label service we produce under your brand, language and barcode. Label information is checked against destination-country regulations.
