According to the estimate of the results, Turkey's hazelnut exports made by the population of the country, income per capita, unemployment rate, real interest rate, surface area, volume of trade, real exchange rate index, the purchasing power of EU membership of the dummy with parity, free trade agreements, and while the boundaries of the borders are positively associated with the export of hazelnut, the distance of countries from each other, inflation rate, literacy rate, dummy variables, OECD membership and common language and religion variables are negatively related to hazelnut export.
