Tridge summary

The price of pumpkin seeds have seen a significant increase of 100 percent since the pandemic due to both higher demand and increased exports. The product, commonly sold for between 60-80 TL in retail, was previously priced between 20-25 lira in wholesale and 36-38 lira in retail during the previous year. The fluctuating prices are largely dependent on the stock availability, with the high demand and uncertain yield contributing to the price hike.
