The article reports on the commencement of the persimmon harvest in Adıyaman, Turkey, the country's third-largest producer of the fruit. The region, which covers 7,000 acres, is expected to produce around 13,000 tons of persimmons, similar to the previous year. A harvest festival was held with support from local authorities and state saplings. The persimmons are then bought by merchants and consumed domestically. Both the size and yield of the persimmons this year have met the expectations of the farmers, with the price ranging from 15-20 lira per kilogram.
