Tridge summary

Poppy producers in the Çameli district of Denizli, Turkey, are experiencing a significant decrease in yield due to drought, with some fields losing half of their crop. The drought has weakened the quality and reduced the yield by seven times, from 1 ton to 250-300 kg. This has led to concerns about the future price of the poppy shell and powder, which varied between 4 and 10 TL and 20-25 TL last year, respectively. The situation is further complicated by unpredictable weather conditions and the need for state permission to plant poppies.
