Malatya Apricot Expands Almond Supply Globally

Malatya Apricot, a Turkish producer, supplier, and exporter based in Battalgazi, Malatya, the province that supplies roughly 85% of Turkey's dried apricot output, has expanded its reach by supplying almonds to food businesses worldwide. The company serves importers, wholesalers, distributors, and food manufacturers as a wholesale almond supplier and exporter. Alongside its dried fruit range, Malatya Apricot supplies almonds in bulk quantities, with steady quality and dependable delivery to international markets.

Almonds remain one of the most requested tree nuts in the world. They provide healthy fats, vitamin E, fiber, magnesium, and protein, and are used in a variety of food items including snacks, bakery goods, confectionery, breakfast cereals, dairy alternatives, energy bars, and nut butter. As more consumers seek plant-based and clean label foods, food businesses need a reliable partner to deliver consistent orders. Each lot of almonds undergoes hulling, shelling, and careful sorting by both machine and hand, ensuring customers receive a uniform product.

Mild pasteurization follows, which limits microbes without altering taste or nutritional value. Packaging is flexible, allowing buyers to choose from a full range of almond types, including natural almonds for snacking and bulk sales, roasted almonds for longer shelf life and richer flavor, and almonds suited for bakery and confectionery use. Sliced, diced, and powdered almonds are also available for cereals, snacks, and health foods. Malatya Apricot offers organic almonds grown to international organic standards, and solutions for wholesale, retail, and private label customers, each adjusted to match branding, logistics, and market requirements. The company supports international shipping with established routes to Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East.

Malatya Apricot, which holds USDA Organic, BRC, FSSC 22000, Eco, and Kosher certifications for specific product lines, has a portfolio that includes dried apricots, figs, prunes, raisins, dates, almonds, cashews, and frozen and freeze-dried produce. The company operates its own facility in Battalgazi, Malatya, where it grows, processes, packs, and exports its products. Its work with almonds follows the same approach it applies to dried fruit: careful selection, quality checks before shipment, and clear communication with every buyer.

The company's almonds are in high demand, with the market expected to grow from $8.74 billion in 2023 to $9.26 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. This growth is attributed to supply and demand dynamics, global trade policies and tariffs, crop yields and harvest trends, macroeconomic factors, health and nutrition trends, climate change, and sustainability, as well as consumer trends.

Organic almonds, a niche segment within the almonds market, have seen significant growth. The latest Market Research Intellect study on Organic Almonds, which focuses on current market analysis, upcoming opportunities, revenue growth, pricing, and profitability, highlights the importance of e-commerce penetration as a key driver for the organic almonds market expansion. The study indicates that e-commerce usage is increasing, driven by factors such as convenience, the proliferation of internet access, and a shift in consumer preference towards online shopping. This trend is expected to continue, providing a competitive edge to businesses that can leverage e-commerce to expand their reach and meet the growing demand for organic almonds.
