MANISA. The high price level is currently making Turkish sultanas unattractive for exporters and buyers alike; buying large quantities at once is a major financial commitment.

Low trading activity

At the end of the harvest period in the Turkish sultana province of Manisa, cooler temperatures of 31-34°C and rain showers are on the cards for the coming days. Many buyers are not yet in a hurry to stock up on supplies and growers are also holding back on offers – the latter in the hope that prices will rise even further. The market is correspondingly quiet at the moment. Due to the high price level, exporters are refraining from stockpiling and are instead only buying the quantities of raw materials needed to fulfil their contracts.
