Abstract
In this study, it was evaluated the production, foreign trade and competition power of walnuts with shell, which has a significant value in Turkey. According to 2017 data, it was produced more than 210 thousand tons of walnuts in Turkey. Turkey has 5.2% of production of walnuts with shell in the world. National self-sufficiency of walnut production in Turkey decreased from 93.9% in 2000 to 76.7% in 2017. In recent years, total walnut exports and imports in Turkey are respectively 8.1 and 66.01 thousand tons. Thus Turkey is to provide a portion of the walnut needs through imports, and Turkey has a deficit of foreign trade in walnut. While Turkey's competitiveness (comparative advantages) in walnut was moderate during the period 2012-2015, it has been determined not to have an advantage in 2016. Besides, it is possible to increase production, qualification, and competitiveness in export by means of the measures taken in walnut sector. © 2019, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
