Fruits and vegetables sold in our southern neighbor Turkey are unusually cheap. With this action, the Turkish government wants to show that the embargo on their goods in Russia will not affect their economy.
With the biggest drop in price are tomatoes, which are up to 3 times cheaper than their previous prices. As a rule, around the New Year holidays the prices of red vegetables are high, but this year the opposite is happening.
Potatoes, onions and peppers are also sold cheaply, and oranges and lemons are among the fruits with significantly lower prices on the market.
Russia continues to return goods from Turkey after political relations between the two countries deteriorated. However, food products are marketed.
A few days ago, a Turkish businessman, Kasam Yasdooglu from the town of Kadirli, bought tens of tons of tomatoes and citrus fruits from a local stock exchange and distributed them free of charge to the town's population.
With this act, the businessman said that he was showing Vladimir Putin how the Turkish people could buy what they produce on their own without needing a Russian market.
The Turkish government, on the other hand, has promised to compensate all fruit and vegetable producers in the country so that they do not suffer losses from the Russian embargo on their products.
The measures of the Ministry of Agriculture include a package of counter-sanctions against the Russian embargo, which brought some reassurance among producers and traders.
Russia, meanwhile, has begun active market inspections to determine whether Turkish products are being sold illegally, Russian Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachev said.
These measures are being introduced in connection with repeated violations of Russian norms by Turkish producers, the official press release of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture said.
