Abstract

In every province of Turkey more
or less fruit species and varieties are grown. One of the most important
factors limiting the fruit growing of Kars province of Eastern Turkey. Four
fruit species are grown in Kars  and
their name are walnut, apple, plum and apricot. Considering the total fruit production
of Kars districts, Kağızman and Sarıkamış are 
6.841 and 1.085  tons of fruit productions, respectively. No
fruit production has the other districts. One of the most important reasons for
not cultivating fruit species and varieties in the other districts of Kars
province is the ecological conditions called climate and soil properties. In
this study, through presenting the existing status of the fruit production
potential of Kars province, it was aimed to increase the awareness and set
light to decision makers.
