The aim of this study is
to predict the future of figs product taking into account twenty-four years of fig production in Turkey.
Figs are a very important product in Turkey's foreign trade. 23% of the world’s
fig productions are provided by Turkey. In 60 of the 81 provinces in Turkey is
done fig production. The total fig production’s approximately 86% is getting
five provinces in Turkey. These provinces are Aydin, Izmir, Bursa, Mersin and
Hatay respectively. ARIMA model used to
forecast of fig production quantity during the period 2015 to 2023 in Turkey.
According to findings of this study, it is forecasted that Turkey’s fig
production will decrease during the period 2015 to 2023. The results obtained
from this study will help to producers, policy makers and consumers in Turkey.
