The Soil Products Office (TMO) determined the 2024-2025 season in-shell hazelnut purchase prices as 130 lira per kilogram for Levant quality and 132 lira for Giresun quality.
According to the statement made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the prices in question were decided in order to meet the storage and financing needs of hazelnut producers and to eliminate the problems that may arise from marketing before the harvest season.
In this context, the purchasing prices of hazelnuts in shell for the 2024-2025 season, based on 50 percent intact hazelnuts, were 130 liras per kilogram for Levant quality and 132 liras per kilogram for Giresun quality.
When the area-based support that the Ministry will provide to producers is considered together with the fuel and fertilizer support, the average price per kilogram for Levant quality will be 133 liras and for Giresun quality it will be 135 liras.
An additional price of 1.3 lira per kilogram will be given to high-yield hazelnuts (for every additional 1 yield over 50 yield).
PURCHASES WILL START ON AUGUST 19
TMO has completed all technical infrastructure, storage, personnel and financing preparations for hazelnut purchases.
Starting from August 12, producers will be able to make appointments with TMO workplaces via the “www.tmo.gov.tr” address and “e-Government”.
Purchases of in-shell hazelnuts will begin on August 19, and purchases will be made by appointment as in previous years.
Producers need to take utmost care to dry their products in order to avoid problems due to humidity when delivering products to TMO.
