Impact of Weather Variability on Türkiye's Dried Fig Harvest

The conclusion of the dried fig season in Türkiye often signals a transition marked by fluctuations in stock levels and market uncertainties. Recently, Aydın, a key region for fig cultivation, experienced unseasonably low temperatures, setting off concerns about the impending fertilization process crucial for the next harvest. Typically commencing in early June, this process involves the collection and placement of mature wild figs to facilitate fertilization.

However, the delay in the maturation of these figs due to the colder weather presents a potential obstacle, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the upcoming harvest. As temperatures are forecasted to rise in the coming week, the ramifications of this weather anomaly on Türkiye's fig industry will gradually unfold, underscoring the delicate balance between nature's rhythms and agricultural practices. It will become clearer how this situation will affect prices in the coming weeks.
