The state of Izmir, in western Turkey, is one of the most prominent tangerine-producing states in the country.
Ibrahim Ardalli, head of the Coordinating Council of Agricultural Chambers in Izmir, said that the state produced about 90,000 tons of tangerines last year.
It is expected that the volume of production will exceed 180,000 tons by the end of the current season.
75 percent of the tangerines produced in Izmir are exported, mainly to Russia and European countries, Ardali said.
