An Idlib vegetable merchant claims that the al-Hal popular market is flooded with tomatoes, imported from Turkey. The quantities exceed the market’s capacity, leading to a drop in prices and financial losses for the merchants.
The increased volumes have caused a severe price fluctuation, leading to losses for the Turkish merchants. Idlib governorate has witnessed a 30% decrease in tomato prices as a result of the speculations among the merchants in the al-Hal market, making the commodity available to citizens at an acceptable price amidst the increase in prices of most goods and the hardship in securing living expenses.
