ORDU. Turkey's hazelnuts exports may far exceed expectations this season. As buyers are reckoning with further sharp declines in the Turkish lira they prefer to wait and hope to profit from low export prices. This procurement strategy is, however, not without risk.

Exports have exceeded expectations by far.
