The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) has completed its poppy capsule purchases in the Emet and Hisarcık districts of Kütahya, receiving around 10 tons from 60 producers. The pod harvest this year is low due to drought. The capsules are transported to the Afyon Alkaloids Factory in Bolvadin District of Afyonkarahisar, where morphine and its derivatives for the pharmaceutical industry are produced. Any surplus is then exported.
