In Nevşehir, which holds an important place in potato production, the rapid decline in prices this year has left producers in a difficult situation. Potatoes finding buyers at 4 liras in the field have caused great disappointment among producers.
According to the local news site nevsehirkenthaber, potato producers came together at a meeting held with the participation of CHP Nevşehir Provincial Chair Bülent Yumuş and CHP Derinkuyu District Chair Soner Barut. At the meeting, a decision was made to hold a protest against the falling potato prices.
CALL FOR PROTEST ON AUGUST 29
In this context, producers will gather in the Derinkuyu district center on Thursday, August 29, at 14:00 to express their reaction to potato prices. Yazıhüyük Mayor Birol Demirdelen also supported the protest, stating, “All potato producers and our farmers are invited to this protest, which will also be attended by potato producers, our farmers, and our members of parliament.”
