Mirsan Gıda is a direct dried apricot manufacturer and exporter from Malatya, Türkiye – the world's apricot capital producing 70% of the world's and 90% of Turkey's dried apricots . Since 1983, we supply whole, pitted, sun-dried apricots treated with sulphur dioxide (SO₂) to importers, wholesalers, distributors and food manufacturers in 115+ countries.
Our Malatya Kayisisi holds EU Geographical Indication (PGI) status since 2017, guaranteeing authentic origin and quality.
Sulphured dried apricots are whole pitted apricots, sun-dried in Malatya and treated with sulphur dioxide (SO₂) for color retention. The SO₂ process keeps the bright orange color, prevents browning and extends shelf life to 12-18 months. Ideal for retail shelves, snack industry and confectionery.
