What Is Happening in Malatya, the Capital of Apricots?
Malatya apricot producers had a very busy week. They had been asking for TMO to announce the base price since before the season started. However, this did not happen and dried apricot prices continued to fall. Farmers who could not make a profit due to many factors resisted selling their products. However, the season has started and farmers have to sell their products and the existing market prices are not worth the farmers' labor. Farmers who could not make their voices heard took to the roads with tractors and protested.

What will the state and TMO respond to the farmers' actions at the beginning of the season?
At the end of the protest, the representatives they elected conveyed the farmers' demands to the Presidency. It is not clear what the result will be yet. Farmers are waiting for the answer from the state with hope. In the meantime, they are only selling as much product as they need. Export companies are storing what they can buy at low prices. What will the state and TMO respond to the farmers' actions at the beginning of the season? Everyone is waiting for the answer to this question with curiosity.Ā
