Özet: Agricultural sector has also been affected by the globalization like the rest of the world. The increase in the world trade has continued. The monitoring of the development in dried fruits’ trade which is one of the most important sectors in Turkish agricultural exports is very crucial. Raisins, dried apricots and figs are in the scope of this study. The aim of this study is to examine the changes in the value and direction of trade flow between Turkey and the countries which import dried fruits from Turkey. Trade Intensity Analysis Method which presents the course of trade flow among countries is used in the study.
