- Abstract
Turkey is a homeland of hazelnut culture. Hazelnuts are cultivated in the North of Anatolia, called the old and new region. The old region is in the Eastern Black Sea region and includes Ordu, Giresun, Trabzon, Rize and Artvin provinces. The new region is located in the central and western Black Sea region and includes mainly Samsun, Sinop, Düzce, Sakarya, Zonguldak, Kocaeli provinces. Tombul, Çakıldak and Foşa are the most cultivated varieties. Turkey is the most important hazelnut producer in the world with 705 thousand hectares of total area and average of 600 thousand tons. It meets 70% of hazelnut production in the world. Hazelnut constitutes approximately 20% of exports of agricultural products of Turkey. Again, hazelnut is the source of livelihood of 400 thousand families living in Eastern Black Sea Region. The Eastern Black sea region is extremely suitable for hazelnut culture due to its ecology. Hazelnut has been grown for many years and it is intertwined with the social, economic and cultural values of the people of the region. Traditional cultivation practices with intensively labor are common in production periods. In recent years, awareness of the application of agricultural techniques has increased and new orchards have been established.
