“We wanted to relieve the industrialists and exporters”
In the statement, the following was recorded:
“When it was observed that there were no hazelnut stocks in the hands of our producers and the supply to the markets slowed down, we opened the shelled hazelnuts in our stocks for sale for the month of June in order not to interrupt our exports and to utilize the product in our stocks. There is a serious demand for the 38 thousand tons of shelled hazelnuts put up for sale. We wanted to relieve our industrialists and exporters by using the previously untested credit card sales method in our shelled hazelnut sales.”
