The tobacco harvest has commenced in the Bafra district of Samsun, Turkey, with farmers facing challenges due to increasing production costs and low product prices. The purchase of tobacco by private companies has led to dissatisfaction among producers, who are struggling to make a profit. The Bafra Chamber of Agriculture has appealed for state support and emphasized the need for addressing issues such as the high cost of diesel, fertilizer, medicine, and animal feed. The chamber has warned of an anticipated decrease in tobacco production, which could lead to mass migration from rural areas to urban areas.
