Thanks to its geographic diversity, Turkey is one of the rare countries that allows uninterrupted, year-round supply of fresh fruit and vegetables. At MC Sarıkaya Gıda, we source from various production regions across Turkey; this network is not a fixed or closed list, but an open structure that can expand depending on product and season.
Each region has its own specialty: the Mediterranean coastal belt (Mersin, Adana, Antalya, Hatay) is, thanks to its mild winters, the center of citrus and greenhouse vegetable growing (tomato, pepper, eggplant). The Aegean region (İzmir, Manisa, Aydın) is ideal for table grapes, figs, and olives thanks to its hot, dry summers and well-drained soils; Bursa, with its temperate climate, stands out for pear and peach cultivation.
The transitional zones of Central Anatolia and the eastern Mediterranean tell a different story: Isparta's higher, cooler interior meets the chilling requirement apples need, while Malatya's continental climate (cold winters, hot dry summers) makes it one of the world's leading apricot production centers. Uşak, meanwhile, has a long-standing tradition of quince cultivation. This geographic diversity means that a climate issue in one region (frost, drought) doesn't affect the entire supply.
Our supply network is not static; it can expand or shift over time based on product quality, seasonal conditions, and our grower relationships. For up-to-date information on which product comes from which region, see our Products page and the regional information on each product's own page.
