Everbearing strawberries, known as "red diamonds" in the Kurşunlu rural neighborhood of Bursa's İnegöl district, are now being exported to Russia after Georgia and Ukraine.

Of 30,000 tons of strawberries annually grown on a field of 12,000 decares in the Kurşunlu neighborhood, are offered to the domestic market, while the remaining 20 percent go abroad.

The first exports to Moscow recently followed exports to Georgia and Ukraine. Tons of strawberries were loaded on to trucks and sent to both countries recently.

İnegöl Chamber of Agriculture Chairman Sezai Çelik said that Kurşunlu is one of Turkey's favorite areas for strawberry production.

Since previously they only sold strawberries to the domestic market, Çelik said that they exported six trucks of strawberries to Moscow. Noting that strawberries grown in Kurşunlu have a higher aroma and longer shelf life, he added: "Since it has proven itself with its flavor, it has become very popular. We are very happy."

Since they started growing strawberries with a few seedlings that they brought from Nevşehir 10 years ago, Çelik stressed that strawberries grown in Kurşunlu have made a name for themselves around Turkey. "The Kurşunlu neighborhood has returned to agriculture for 10 years now. Currently, we are exporting strawberries. We produce 30 thousand tons per year. We intend to increase this even further," he added.
