Though we had encountered a delay in the process of drying and presenting to the market because of not only the negative weather conditions which are experienced in August and September months but also due to the humid air and sea winds, we expect its reflection onto our circulation in comparison with the previous year shall come true like 50%”.

Although it is considered as a dried fruit like snacks, also the delicious sweet and floury products which are manufactured of dried fig are highly appreciated and demanded as well. Another reason of the demand is the Asure season. There is a considerable movement in the retail sales throughout the country and in the countries in which the Turkish people live”.
