The article reports on the ongoing black mulberry harvest in Mersin's Silifke district, where the fruit is sold domestically and internationally. The harvest, which started in January and will continue until May, is being sold abroad for 50 liras per kilogram. The fruit is also being distributed in metropolitan cities in Turkey and has been cited as an easy-to-care-for alternative crop to strawberries. Ayhan Eski, a producer trader in the district, has expressed satisfaction with the crop's price and yield and recommends it to other farmers. The black mulberries are grown under cover and are ready to harvest 20 days earlier than last year due to the region's climatic conditions.
