The Southeastern Anatolia Dried Fruits and Products Exporters' Association has met with Gaziantep Governor Kemal Çeber to discuss the challenges faced by dried fruit exporters, with a particular focus on the high pricing and stockpiling of pistachios. This has led to potential market loss in Europe and a threat to the stability of the regional economy. The association is proposing solutions to stabilize the pistachio market and maintain current markets, emphasizing the importance of pistachios to the economy and employment. They have highlighted the need for improved storage conditions to prevent microbiological contamination and to prevent the shift to other producer countries due to the current instability.
