Giresun Hazelnut Reached the Peak, Seeing 352 TL

The Black Sea Region has been experiencing a busy period recently, especially for hazelnut producers. As of October 1, 2025, the kilogram price of hazelnuts in the free market was trading in the range of 300-350 TL, while Giresun hazelnuts, which stand out with their quality registration, reached their absolute peak, rising up to 352 TL.

Hazelnuts are among Turkey's most important agricultural products and are one of the most cultivated products in the Black Sea basin. This significant increase in hazelnut prices is attracting the attention of both producers and consumers. Producers hope that this price increase will be sustainable.

Producer associations are commenting on these price fluctuations in hazelnuts and emphasizing the importance of quality management. The quality of Giresun hazelnuts is recognized and demanded in both national and international markets. Especially, the increasing consumer preference for organic and high-quality hazelnuts is cited as one of the main reasons for prices reaching these levels.

These price increases in hazelnuts also affect the economic dynamics in the region. While producers' incomes are increasing, positive effects on the agricultural economy are also observed. However, market uncertainties and external factors are shaping producers' future expectations.

Giresun hazelnuts, in particular, are recognized worldwide for their quality and taste and hold a significant market share. While the future trajectory of hazelnut prices is eagerly awaited, Giresun's leadership remains a noteworthy element in this process.
