UFK Chairman Sebahattin Arslantürk, emphasizing that he found the intervention of the Turkish Grain Board positive from the producers' point of view and continued as follows: “It turned out that the free market conditions are still not exist in Turkish hazelnut industry. They are in the direction of not having market actors about whether TMO should be active or not. But it turns out that it does not happen. A regulator body is needed."

"But this regulator must also have the correct response time. This was the right time for the 2019 crop. TMO announced the price of hazelnuts in July. The price it announced was a price that met the expectations. Already TMO could remain on the market for about 2 months. The market started to operate at a superior price than TMO announced. When it is a regulator, balances can be established much better. In the next period, if TMO will be included in this sector, it must definitely announce the price of the crop year in advance before entering the garden. TMO General Manager also made a statement in this direction the day before. The increase in last year will continue with our export figures, and the formation of a price that will meet the expectations of the producer in production will change the perspective of the producer towards the garden positively," he added.
