Mardin
province is one of the oldest and rarest settlements with a number of religious
cultural heritage where agricultural production emerged first. According to
2016 year statistics, it has a share of 0.11% in Turkey’s total fruit
production which indicates that it is not a considerable fruit producer.
Whereas, in this province, a number of fruit species can commercially be grown
and cherry, pomegranate, pistachio, almond, olive and figs production is more
prominent. Mardin has a terrestrial climate with considerably hot and dry
summers, and cold winters. According to 2016 statistics total fruit production
was realized to be 16.229 tons in Mardin. Considering the 2016 year total fruit
production of Mardin districts, Kiziltepe, Omerli and Artuklu rank first,
second and third with 3.424, 2.903 and 2.467 tons of fruit productions
respectively as Mazidagi is the last with a production of 207 tons. Again,
regarding the fruit production by species, 2.965 tons of pomegranate, 2.946
tons of cherry, 1.921 tons of pistachio, 1.888 tons of almond and 1.741 tons of
olive were produced in Mardin in 2016. 
In this study, through presenting the existing status of the fruit
production potential of the Mardin province, it was aimed to increase the
awareness and set light to decision makers in future plans for making use of
the existing fruit potential of Turkey.
