Crop Production: Olives, Citrus and Field Crops
According to the Hatay Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry's 2025 Activity Report, in 2024 the province produced field crops on 1,249,909 decares (1,430,054 tonnes), fruit on 1,021,435 decares (1,380,202 tonnes; 27,067,712 fruit-bearing trees) and vegetables on 240,618 decares (601,750 tonnes).

What does this data mean for an investor?
Fruit area (1,021,435 da) is about 4.2 times vegetable area, and fruit output is on the same scale as field crops (1,380,202 tonnes and 1,430,054 tonnes). Farming is centred on multi-year tree crops: olives alone cover 572,270 decares and 14,323,857 trees, while citrus stands out with 308,452 decares and 938,976 tonnes. Output per decare is 2.57 tonnes for Satsuma mandarin and 0.37 tonnes for oil olives (as fruit).
What it means for an investor: these volumes show the size of the local raw-material base for olive oil, citrus processing, cold storage and packing plants. But existing processing capacity, prices and export data are not in this source, so a “capacity gap” cannot be concluded from it; a feasibility study should count existing plant capacity in the region separately.
Limitation: Figures refer to the 2024 production year and come from tables in the provincial directorate's activity report; in the fruit table only the main crops have their own rows (an “other” line also exists). Olive figures are fruit tonnage, not olive-oil volume. 1 decare = 0.1 hectare. Any post-earthquake yield effect cannot be separated from this table.
