Despite the high Antep pistachio yield in Gaziantep, the prices not falling drew attention. Even though this year’s Antep pistachio yield is high in Gaziantep, prices have not dropped. Last year, the price per kilogram of Antep pistachios was 400 lira, but this year it is being sold for a minimum of 500 lira. Producers point out that the sale of fresh pistachios has impacted prices. Pistachio producers stated that despite a abundant yield during harvest season, the reason for prices not falling is due to increased costs. Additionally, it was noted that the high demand for pistachios also prevented prices from dropping.
