Turkish market players report that prices for high-quality goods on the domestic market are at TRY 50-55/kg, but fear that the rise in the exchange rate could lead to further increases up to TRY 60/kg. Export prices, however, have fallen slightly week-on-week due to the weak Turkish currency and are currently at USD 5,600/mt FOB Izmir for dried figs, Lerida
