The flag of Malatya Province (photo) is white with the province's emblem in the middle. "T.C." stands for "Türkiye Cumhuriyeti", "Republic of Turkey"; "Valiliği" means "Governorate". The emblem features a stylized apricot.
Turkey is the world's single largest apricot producer and Malatya
Province in the southeastern part of the country is the principal
apricot producing region. Most of Malatya's apricot production is
marketed in dried form and represents about 65 percent of the world's
dried apricot output.
Known for their sweet taste, Malatya apricots are perfect for drying
because the pit is readily separable from the fruit itself. Our apricots
are hand-picked, gathered, pitted, sulfated, and sun-dried for two days,
after which they are compressed and sun-dried for another two to three
days before being sold to local processing plants. We also offer natural
or organic apricots which have not been treated with sulfur, and are
easily recognizable by their dark color. These apricots have an
extremely flavorful, sweet taste.
