The article highlights the frustration of producers in Hekimhan district, who have begun their harvest of hawthorns but are struggling to sell their crops due to a lack of demand. This situation is particularly troubling as the establishment of a hawthorn production facility in 2017, supported by the Eastern Anatolia Project Regional Development Administration, was aimed at improving herbal production infrastructure and providing a ready market for these products. However, with the facility failing to make new purchases, producers are facing challenges and are looking to the authorities for support. The current situation has resulted in an oversupply of hawthorns, with no clear path for sale, leaving producers in a difficult position.
