A Brief History of Apricots
It is most famous for the varieties grown in the Malatya region of Turkey. The apricot, originally known as the apricot, is thought to be native to the Turkestan-Western China region. According to historical sources, there is various information indicating that apricot cultivation began in this region around 3000 BC. Having remained in its homeland for centuries, this fruit was discovered during the campaigns of Alexander the Great and brought to Anatolia in the 4th century BC. These lands, which provided extremely suitable climate conditions and soils for its cultivation, became the apricot's second homeland. In the 1st century BC, during the Roman-Persian wars, Armenian merchants took it first to Italy and then to Greece. It temporarily spread to other countries in Continental Europe, reaching Spain and England in the 13th century, France in the 17th century, and then to the Americas.
Turkey leads the world in fresh apricot production, with six different production regions within the country. These regions are Malatya, Elazig, Erzincan, Kars, Igdir, and the Mediterranean (Mersin, Mut, Antakya). Except for Malatya, Elazig, and Erzincan, the production in the other regions is for table consumption. The dried products of these regions account for approximately 85-90 of the world's dried apricot production.
