AYDIN. Only a few more weeks until Christmas. That leaves Turkish fig suppliers with only little room for exports anymore.

Usually, the main business with Turkish dried figs is taken care of before the turn of the year. There is enough merchandise available and prices are stable, although buyers suspect lower prices are possible.
