MANISA. The weather in Turkey is expected to cool down again in the coming days, which would benefit the plants in the growing regions. Sales are still sluggish.

It's getting frosty

The rise in temperature and the associated unusually warm weather for this time of year in Turkey had caused concern among market players after trees had already started to blossom in some regions. From the middle of this week, however, the Turkish weather service is expecting a significant drop in temperatures, which will ease the situation again. Temperatures are initially expected to reach 9-10°C during the day and then drop to 6°C to -1°C at night.

Exports down by more than 30%
