Turkish Olive Production Data

Olive and olive oil production in Türkiye at province, region and variety level. Türkiye is the world's largest producer of table olives, yet its production figures have not been available as a single machine-readable set below the national level. This dataset collects them.

Configurations

Config	Rows	Contents
`provinces`	45	2024-25 season by province: olives, table/oil split, olive oil, tree counts, yield per tree, coordinates
`province_series`	66	Eleven-season series for the six largest producing provinces
`regions`	5	Area and output shares of the five producing regions
`varieties`	38	Mapping of olive varieties to growing regions

Columns

Column names are Turkish. provinces:

Column	Meaning
`il`	province
`bolge`	region (Ege, Marmara, Akdeniz, Güneydoğu Anadolu, Karadeniz)
`enlem`, `boylam`	latitude, longitude (decimal degrees)
`dane_zeytin_ton`	olives harvested, tonnes
`sofralik_ton`	of which sent to table use
`yaglik_ton`	of which sent for pressing
`zeytinyagi_ton`	olive oil produced, tonnes
`meyve_veren_agac_bin`	bearing trees, thousands
`meyve_vermeyen_agac_bin`	non-bearing trees, thousands
`agac_basina_kg`	yield per bearing tree, kg
`sayfa_tr`, `sayfa_en`	the province's page on zeytin.net

Three ways to misread this data

1 · An empty cell is not zero. It means no published figure. Olives are grown in 41 of Türkiye's 81 provinces and 270 of its 843 districts. A few provinces here produce too little to form a separate line in the statistics — the trees exist, the harvest exists, the number does not.

2 · Table and oil tonnages are two destinations of one crop. sofralik_ton + yaglik_ton = dane_zeytin_ton. They are not separate production and must not be added to the total.

3 · Olives bear alternately. A heavy year is followed by a light one. Never infer a trend from a single season — that is what province_series is for.

One more: to compute an extraction rate, divide zeytinyagi_ton by yaglik_ton, never by dane_zeytin_ton. Oil comes only from the fruit sent for pressing.
