Malatya had a stagnant week. After a sluggish January, February started off a bit more active. The products available to many farmers have decreased. The yield was not very high this season, and accordingly the market could not catch up with the old export rate. The fact that the prices were quite higher compared to last season was effective in this. As of next week, the local market and exports are expected to become more actively. The upcoming elections and the approach of the month of Ramadan have made farmers a little more hopeful about prices. Some farmers preserve their stocks and at the same time collect products from other farmers who have little left. At this time of the year, prices are above normal due to the decrease in the harvest. This year, with the effect of Ramadan, farmers who have products hope to compensate for the losses they experience due to high costs due to the increase in Dollar / Euro.
Market Prices are so changeable and keeping same price one week nearly impossible only big companies can keep the prices. On the local market raw material prices changing nearly every day
