Eggplant prices in Istanbul markets have fluctuated and started to decrease, with prices now ranging from 100 to 140 TL. The price increase, which was nearly 100 percent, was initially due to cold weather in the Mediterranean, but as the weather has warmed, product yield has increased, leading to a decrease in prices. Market tradesmen anticipate that prices will continue to decrease and return to normal in the next 3-4 days.
