On the one hand, raw material prices are rising, and on the other hand, exporters cannot find products even though the prices are high in Türkiye. The harvest started the season much lower than normal, causing the products to end early. Although European countries do not demand much due to high prices, exporters have difficulty meeting the demand. The desired sales could not be achieved at the Biofac fair last week, only the connections were renewed for the new season, but it seems that the harvest will not be much in the new season.

If warm weather causes early flowering, there is a high probability of frost and harvest loss in the following months. Anticipating this, manufacturers with stocks are not willing to sell their products. Domestic market sales are more active these days.
