The article highlights the significant decrease in lemon prices in Adana, a city that contributes a substantial portion of Turkey's lemon production. The current weight of a lemon is 25 kuruş, and prices have dropped to 25 cents per kilo due to an oversupply and lack of demand. This has led many farmers to stop planting and even uproot leemon trees, as the current market prices do not cover production costs. The issue is further complicated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's export restrictions, leaving domestic markets with a surplus. Additionally, Syrian traders are buying large quantities of lemons to resell in Syria, preventing waste.
