ÇAYKUR is actively purchasing fresh tea for the third year in a row, buying around 214,000 tons so far, with plans to buy an additional 30,000 tons in the next 10 days. Their dry tea sales goal for the year is 150,000 tons, but they aim to increase this due to the large amount of fresh tea purchased. They are also seeking to improve their market for the significant amount of tea they have purchased, and have sold dry tea to both producers and private sector tea factories. Additionally, ÇAYKUR has defended their pricing practices, stating that the price per kilogram of dry tea sold to private sector tea factories has increased from 18-19 liras to 28.30 liras plus VAT this year. They also noted that the production of white tea has been low this year, but sales of cold tea have surpassed 73 million liters and are on track to reach 100 million liters.
