The commission responsible for evaluating the harvest date of the Bursa fig, renowned throughout the world for its caliber, taste and quality, finally gave the start signal, 11 days later than last season.
90 percent of Turkish black figs are harvested in the Bursa area, which typically harvests around 25,000 tonnes per year, of which about 60-70 percent is exported, particularly in Europe and the Middle East.
In previous years, prices were very low, not meeting the expectations of producers. But this year the basic selling price should be 7 Turkish lire (1 euro = 4.15 Turkish lire, which should satisfy both producers and exporters.
Particular attention has been paid to the fact that chemicals are not allowed by the importing countries.
