AYDIN. Prices for dried figs have continued to rise on the Turkish market and the first exporters are withdrawing. The rumours that are currently circulating do not bode well.

Market players report that price increases are continuing and exporters are therefore very cautious with their offers.

Exporters are nevertheless in a hurry to stock up on raw materials to at least cover the needs for existing contracts. Howe
