Konya continues to stand out as Turkey’s leading province in cherry production, supported by long-term agricultural policies and local government initiatives. With a strong production capacity and expanding orchard areas, the city maintains its top position in the sector while focusing on sustainable growth.
Thanks to the rural development programs implemented by Konya Metropolitan Municipality, cherry cultivation has become a key source of income for many local farmers. The distribution of cherry saplings and ongoing technical support have encouraged producers to establish modern and efficient orchards across the region, contributing to higher yields and improved quality.
Cherries produced in Konya are supplied both to the domestic market and to international buyers. In addition to fresh consumption, the crop is widely used in processed products such as cherry juice and other aromatic food items, strengthening Konya’s role in agricultural exports.
