Sold for 2,500 TL per kilogram in Alanya! Spectators are astonished

With the warming weather, summer fruits, including green plums, have started to be sold. The price per kilogram of green plums at Alanya Wholesale Market has been set at 2,500 TL.

Summer fruits have begun to appear on the stalls. Green plums, one of the most popular fruits of hot days, have also started to brighten up the markets. This year, the harvest started earlier than last year, but the price of green plums has left many shocked. At the Alanya Wholesale Market, the price per kilogram of green plums is 2,500 TL. Known as the "green gold," these plums are particularly favored by expectant mothers who crave sour fruits. Due to the high price, they are sold in small 80-gram packages for 200 TL each.

Adem Kaya, President of the Alanya Wholesale Market Brokers Association, stated: “The price per kilogram of green plums is currently 2,500 TL. Due to warm weather, they have appeared a bit earlier this year. In previous years, the harvest would start in the first week of April. The current price seems very high, but in the coming days, it is expected to drop to around 80-100 TL per kilogram. To make them more affordable, they are sold in small packages.”
