Delayed Price Announcement from TMO: Will Farmers Finally Find Relief?
The farmers' protests worked and finally TMO announced the base price. Farmers have been waiting for weeks for the base prices to be determined and TMO to buy products from farmers. Last week, TMO responded to these calls and announced the base prices. However, farmers still complain that this announcement is too late. Making this announcement before the season starts next year will make farmers more comfortable.
According to TMO prices, the lowest raw material price for dried apricots with sulfur is 105 TL or 2,79€ and the lowest for dried apricots is 110 TL or 2,92€. Before this announcement, the lowest apricots were finding buyers for 60 TL-70 TL or 1,59€-1,86€. We can say that farmers are a little more relieved. TMO started purchasing as of September 3. We will see its impact on export prices clearly in the coming weeks.
