Market players stated that the fig trees located in the high altitude areas of the Aydın region might be slightly affected by the extremely cold weather conditions in the last two weeks, and the yield may be affected somewhat. Still, it is too early yet to make firm statements about the progress of the new growing season. Furthermore, it has been stated that there is not much activity in the markets and that the raw material prices remained the same. It is also noted that the beginning of the month of Ramadan may slow down the work slightly.
