Harvest Amounts and Economic Value of the Acorn in Turkey

Abstract

Acorn is consumed as food in some Mediterranean and European countries (Italy, Spain). It is rich in primary metabolites (protein, carbohydrate and various oils) and contains various secondary metabolites such as phenolics and alkaloids. In Turkey, the first records of acorn harvest backs to 1989 according to the data received from General Directorate of Forestry, Department of Non-Wood Products and Services. In 1989, for the first time, 9.000 kg acorn collected and 360 ₺ income gained in the region of The Forest Regional Directorate Balıkesir. According to the same data, 1.000 kg cupula and cupula scale of Quercus were gathered from Mersin Forest District Directorate and 260 ₺ were obtained for the first time in 1990. Occasionally it appears that oak leaf and bark are found in the economy. Acorn has been harvested from the Forest Regional Directorate of Bursa, Balıkesir, Konya, Antalya, İzmir, Denizli and Isparta. Maximum amount of acorn harvested from the Forest Regional Directorate Isparta was 746.000 kg, and minimum amount was 500.00 kg in the Forest Regional Directorate of Bursa.
