Hazelnut prices in Ordu, Turkey, are stable this season, with 50 yielding shelled hazelnuts sold for 44.5 TL in the free market. The Turkish Grain Board purchases the same quantity for 52 TL. The establishment of a licensed warehouse by the Ordu Metropolitan Municipality, as planned by Mayor Mehmet Hilmi GÜLER, has been welcomed by producers. The warehouse is expected to address the safety concerns of leaving hazelnuts in storage.
