CHP Deputy Chair Orhan Sarıbal said the base price for sunflowers must be announced before the harvest begins. He put the cost per kilogram at between 35 and 38 lira.
Sarıbal evaluated sunflower production and agricultural supports at a press conference at the party headquarters. He called for a base price and import regulation to protect producers.
Sarıbal also said that forests are carbon sinks and must be protected.
