Fig harvest is ongoing in Mersin Mut: In the garden, it's 80 TL

In the Mut district of Mersin, with around 100 tons of figs harvested this season, the price of figs finding buyers at 80 TL per kilogram means that producers are experiencing a golden year. Harvests continue in Mersin, which plays an important role in Turkey's fresh vegetable and fruit production. Particularly in the Mut district, figs are in high demand during this period. Due to continued demand, figs that were priced at 100 TL at the start of the harvest are now being sold for 80 TL, despite the peak season. The harvested figs are sent to various parts of Turkey through traders. This year, around 100 tons of figs are expected to be harvested by the end of the season. Trader Mehmet Yıldız noted that the producers are pleased with this year's fig harvest, stating, "The initial harvest of figs started at 100 TL this year. Now we are buying them at 80 TL. Both the traders and the producers are satisfied with the price." Producers also mentioned that they are getting more than their fair share for their efforts this year, noting that last year's prices ranged between 20 and 30 TL, while this year started at 100 TL and is now at 80 TL. Producer Bilal Oğuz expressed satisfaction with the fig prices, saying, "Even though we are approaching the middle of the fig harvest, the price is still 80 TL, which pleases us farmers. We are getting excellent returns for our efforts. This year, we are making a lot of money from figs." Mut Agricultural Chamber President Muharrem Yılmaz highlighted that the climatic conditions this year have been very suitable for figs, and there is no other region that can present figs to the market as early as Mut. He also mentioned that fig saplings have been planted on approximately 10,000 decares of land. Yılmaz added that around 10,000 families in the district rely on fig income for their livelihoods and that they expect a yield of 100,000 tons this year.

Mersin Metropolitan Municipality's fig sapling support for farmers

The Agricultural Services Directorate of Mersin Metropolitan Municipality organized a "Fig Sapling Distribution Ceremony" as part of its contributions to agricultural production. The ceremony, which aimed to increase the variety and productivity of figs, create alternative products in agriculture, increase the number of closed fig orchards, and promote fig cultivation to achieve high yield and quality fruits while raising the income levels of producers, distributed a total of 14,654 fig saplings with a 50% grant to 478 farmers in 13 districts. The project, initiated to boost the production of the endemic fig varieties 'Tarsus Black' and 'Mut White,' increase their yield, and make them suitable for export, aims to elevate Mersin to the top position in fig production in Turkey. Hasan Özdemir, an Agricultural Engineer and Head of the Agricultural Services Department, highlighted the strategic importance of figs for Mersin, especially Tarsus. The project focused on supporting the production of 'Tarsus Black' figs to enhance their recognition. Özdemir emphasized the early ripening characteristic of 'Tarsus Black,' making it a high-potential export variety due to its earlier market availability compared to other varieties. The project, designed to increase the production, development, and yield of 'Tarsus Black,' aims to make Mersin the top producer of figs in Turkey. Özdemir stated that the support provided for fig production was essential for the sustainable success of the sector. While 'Tarsus Black' targets the international market, white figs, particularly 'W. Murcott' and 'Nova,' focus on the domestic market. Özdemir mentioned the importance of sustainable interest in figs for long-term success. Hakan Aykut, a Agricultural Technician at the Agricultural Services Directorate, highlighted the distribution of fig saplings across various districts to expand fig cultivation. He acknowledged the positive impact of Mersin Metropolitan Municipality's support, noting that the increased production areas contributed to the drying and extended preservation of figs, expanding the sales portfolios for farmers. A fig farmer, Derya Akın, expressed gratitude for the support received from the municipality, stating that the assistance provided a slight relief for producers. Akın, who is planning to plant figs for her grandchildren's future, emphasized the need for increased support. Another beneficiary of the fig sapling support, Ali Soydan, expressed his appreciation for such agricultural initiatives and hoped for their continuation. Soydan, who plans to start fig cultivation for trade, mentioned an increased production capacity with the support received.
