Despite favourable weather conditions and only one week left before the start of harvest, remain offers for Turkish hazelnuts rather scare. The rigid mood of the market seems to be caused by uncertainty about both the possibilities of interference of the TMO. This, in combination with some rumours about the actual crop size, is keeping exporters reluctant on forward positions. Georgia seems to make use of lack of offers from Turkey, as they are actively offering at the moment. Overall quality in Georgia is reported to be good. The current momentum might provide a healthy boost at the start of the season of this developing industry.
