Turkish suppliers are running out of Red Rio stocks

Turkish suppliers are running out of Red Rio variety of grapefruit stocks as the season is slowly winding down. The suppliers had to deal with quite large-sized fruits this season due to the weather conditions with 16 - 22 pieces in 15 kg carton boxes being the most usual sizes.

Consequently, Turkish exports mostly went to Russia and Ukraine instead of the Western European countries where smaller-sized grapefruits are mostly prefered.
