Turkish markets transition to autumn produce and winter preparations

Agricultural markets in Biga and Sivas are experiencing a seasonal transition as summer produce gives way to autumn and winter varieties. In Biga, the Wednesday Market shows a diverse range of prices. Notable vegetable prices include white sugar beans at 180 TL, green beans at 150 TL, and okra ranging between 140 TL and 300 TL. Fruit prices include local bananas at 90 TL, grapes at 100 TL, and avocados at 100 TL.

In Sivas, the vegetable wholesale market is seeing increased activity related to winter preparations.

This seasonal shift marks the beginning of the period when households prepare food stocks for the colder months.
