Ongoing Price Decline in Manisa's Dried Apricot Industry

Dried apricots, which have seen a continuous drop in prices in recent weeks, closed last week without any change. Manisa, one of Türkiye's key apricot-producing regions, is feeling the impact of this price decline. Along with dried apricots, apricot seeds continue to bring export revenue for farmers.

Farmers’ Struggles and Shifting Production Choices

While farmers in Manisa call for more government support due to insufficient aid and low prices, some have already begun cutting down their apricot trees in frustration, shifting away from apricot production. Others are holding back their high-quality products, anticipating a future price increase.

Exporters Concerned About Quality and Supply

Exporters are becoming increasingly worried about the depletion of high-quality raw materials as stocks run low. The future of pricing may depend on export activities in the coming months, with both farmers and exporters watching the market closely for potential shifts.
