Report also shows us 2015 Crop this year is late around one week comparing the previous years. In general speaking, crop is bigger and quality seems satisfying this year. As the big crop provide more fruit berries at the same bunch, touching each other and squeezed berries receive more damage from each other because of the friction on the trees. Due to the rains in August and the wind, high air humidity resulted around %15 crack/open mount figs rate. Although crop estimation is bigger than last year, first deliveries of early raw material observed to have lower percentage of processable fruits. Later the harvest when raw material starts to dry from mountains and high altitude growing areas, quality and the quantity can be positively increase later periods of productions.
