market-update No. 27-2020 Turkish sultanas/Thompson
For the last 6 weeks, Turkish export numbers have exceeded the figures from last year, a record year. The cumulative export numbers for the current harvest are only 10.000 mt behind last year. We assume this season will be on the same level as last year. Farmers are still very reluctant to sell and are only offering very limited amounts of raw materials. They are waiting for the end of the frost period!
