market update No. 51-2023 On-site harvest report for new crop Turkish sultanas

2023-08-31 | On-site harvest report for new crop Turkish sultanas 

This afternoon, we returned from a 4 days trip. We visited plenty of vineyards and drying beds. All over the place, we have seen the negative impact of mildew. The factories are ready to process but receive only a few new crop raw materials deliveries. When the farmer drives his tractor on the weighing bridge, he recognizes the light product and claims 50 % less yields. We can confirm it. The raw material price went up from TRY 27,00 up to TRY 43,00 p.kg for Type 9 during the last 10 days, and we expect TRY 50,00 p.kg very soon. Consequently, the farmers sell what they need daily and keep the rest for later.
