FIG PASTE / High Market Demand !! The price is almost the same as last week but the volume has reached its peak!! Fig paste section keeps increasing its dominance and the demand throughout the season. The quantity is still ahead compared to last season. It looks like our prediction about "cumulative price" will be correct in the end of the season.
Our (Global) end of season fig paste cumulative forecast may reach 3.850 USD - 4.200 USD / Ton FOB IZMIR (Season Average) by the end of the new season (2024 crop). We expect a 25% market shrinkage due to price increases and low crop amount.
