ORDU. While the TMO is selling hazelnuts at ridiculously high prices, suppliers in Turkey are rating international demand.

High prices are a nuisance

Prices are ridiculously high for the 23,000 mt of hazelnuts the TMO is currently selling. They range at TRY 68/kg for regular Levant quality nuts and at TRY 65/kg for pointy inshell hazelnuts. Demand is, unsurprisingly, very low for these stocks. Backlash is also that the state-run organisation failed to provide the market with much needed reasonably priced raw nuts at a time when international demand is high, especially for 13-15 mm raw hazelnuts.

Local prices for sizes 11-13 mm and 13-15 mm have instead drifted the furthest apart

ORDU. Just how can they get it so wrong is precisely what some buyers are thinking about this year’s hazelnut crop in Turkey. While official projections initially ranged above 800,000 mt, pessimistic voices are reckoning with a production as low as 400,000-500,000 mt. For the TMO the situation presents a golden opportunity.
