The General Directorate of Turkish Grain Board (TMO) announced the sales prices for wheat and barley stocks harvested in 2023 and carried over from previous years. Durum wheat will be sold at 10 thousand 20 liras per ton and bread wheat at 9 thousand 350 liras per ton.
The following information was given in the statement made by TMO General Directorate: “With the statement published by our organization on June 21, 2023, it was announced that our sales price will be determined by adding all kinds of costs to the purchase price of the products we receive from our producers in the new season, and that it would be appropriate for our industrialists and the sector engaged in grain trade to supply their needs during the harvest period, taking this into account.
In this period when the harvest and product supply is intense, in an attempt to inform the producer and the sector, let me tell you that our sales prices to be implemented at the beginning of the 2023/24 sales season for our wheat and barley stocks harvested in 2023 and carried over from previous years are 10,200 TRY/ton for durum wheat, 9,350 TRY/ton for bread wheat and 7,725 TRY/ton for barley.”
On the other hand, while the grain harvest continues to increase across the country, Ahmet Güldal, General Manager of the Turkish Grain Board (TMO), said that the purchase price and the premium they announced made the farmer happy. Pointing out that the products should not be sold below TMO prices, Güldal said, “The farmer should not rush. They should protect the value of their labor.”
