The Soil Crops Office (TMO) has been actively purchasing hazelnuts from producers since August, making purchases at 48 points across seven provinces. In the past two months, TMO has successfully procured approximately 150 thousand tons of hazelnuts, with the purchases expected to continue until December. This initiative has been well-received by producers, who appreciate the fairer prices offered by TMO in comparison to the free market. Producers have expressed their satisfaction with the smooth purchasing process and the reliability of TMO, highlighting the significant price difference and the financial security it provides.
