In Turkey, citrus growers have not protection, citrus prices is formed by supply and demand, this cause seasonal price fluctuation. Turkish incorrect policies on the part of the government the citrus sector started to show severe signs of weaknesses and the productivity and quality of citrus in Turkey decreased.

There is a huge lack of support in all aspects of citrus production and marketing.
