Tarladan Tezgaha Fiyat Savaşı

In Samsun, the debate over exorbitant prices has flared up again as summer fruits and vegetables hit the market. Citizens complain that the low prices in the fields are reflected in the market, while producers and intermediaries, and retailers, cite transportation and high operating costs as reasons. In Samsun, home to the Bafra and Çarşamba plains, two of Turkey's most important agricultural centers, the abundance of summer fruits and vegetables filling the market stalls has once again pitted producers against consumers due to transportation costs and intermediary commissions. The debate, which began with citizens shouting, "Why is a product that costs 5 lira in the field 30 lira in the market?", has brought the price war in the supply chain from field to basket and the difficulties faced by all parties back to the forefront.
