The pepper and chilli pepper harvest season has now started in Turkey (albeit late). So far, the quality looks good. However, yield estimates are not possible at this stage, nor are concrete statements on prices. According to our partner, however, initial prices indicate that peppers and chillies are becoming more expensive. The extent to which this will continue remains to be seen, as demand is currently low and prices could adjust accordingly, as another local partner told us. Inflation in the country is also still a factor. Despite the fall in the rate of inflation in April/May, it remains at a high level.
