Fındık Harvest Worker Wages Rise by 46% While Producers and Workers Demand 2.500 TL

New wage rates for Turkish fındık harvest workers have been announced by the Ordu Governorship and Agricultural Chambers. The daily net wage for all workers has been set at 1.750 TL, up from 1.200 TL last year, marking a 46% increase. However, producers and workers are demanding at least 2.500 TL during the harvest period. The commission's recommended guide rates include 1.900-2.250 TL for çuvalcı, 3.500 TL for katırcı, and 6.000 TL for patoz hourly wages. These increases could impact labor costs in the fındık sector. The market will closely monitor how these decisions affect productivity and price dynamics during the harvest season. The ongoing price negotiations between producers and workers highlight a critical juncture that could shape the sector's future economic performance.
