The General Directorate of Tea Enterprises (ÇAYKUR) has implemented an average price increase of 3.5 percent on dry tea, effective as of today. This new adjustment, which follows a 15 percent increase in June, is being closely monitored within the sector.
ÇAYKUR cites the rise in fresh tea purchase prices, as well as increases in labor and operating costs, as the justification for the price hike. This situation is drawing mixed reactions from tea producers and consumers alike.
MORE PRICE HIKES ON THE WAY
Industry sources indicate that following the 3.5 percent hike in July, similar increases may continue throughout August and the subsequent months. This trend is expected to persist until the end of the year, suggesting that tea prices may continue to rise on a monthly basis.
