The markets are still calm. There isn’t much difference. There were also some hailstorms last week in Malatya, but there seems not to be significant harm. Market players expect the frost damage official figures, and the result will be announced in June. Some say that the product is not as scarce as it seems. There is no more fuss as at the beginning. Some say that the new crop will be 70 thousand or even 80 thousand. Of course, these are unofficial figures.

Market players informed that the market is calm. Due to various statements about frost damage, the apricot prices, which skyrocketed from 80 TL/kg to 115 TL/kg last week, remained so far. Exporters still avoid giving offers, while some provide only indicative prices.
