Erdem also commented on the pricing, explaining that it fluctuates with supply and demand. "If demand is high, the price goes up; if it's low, it goes down. This year, there is a lot of product, but demand is at the same level. Therefore, prices are normal and good. It satisfies us too," he added. The harvested melons are being loaded onto trucks and sent to various sales points in different provinces.
