Top countries dominate global fig production in 2025
Turkey maintains its commanding lead in global fig production, accounting for more than 60 percent of the world's dried figs, primarily from its Aegean region where the prized Sarılop variety thrives. The country exported around 63,000 tons in the 2024-2025 season to over 100 nations, generating $337 million in revenue despite challenges like climate variability and aflatoxin risks. Exporters implemented strict quality measures, including a sustainable project that diverted 1,500 tons of contaminated figs for energy conversion, bolstering food safety standards.
Egypt and Algeria follow as key producers, with longstanding output in North Africa supporting both local consumption and international trade. Morocco also plays a significant role, contributing substantially to the global supply alongside nations like Iran, which competes on price but trails in market share and quality controls. Demand remains robust from major markets including the European Union, United States, China, and Japan, driven by rising interest in healthy, natural snacks.
While fresh fig production sees involvement from countries such as the United States and Spain, dried figs dominate the industry, underscoring Turkey's unchallenged position. These rankings reflect recent data trends projecting stability into 2025, with total world production hovering around 1.2 million tonnes amid efforts to adapt to environmental pressures.
