This week at the Nicosia Open Market, prices for fruits and vegetables have reached notably high levels. Among various products available, the price of vine leaves found buyers at 800 TL, making it the most expensive item. Additionally, figs, a popular fruit, were recorded at 350 TL per kilogram.
The price of pomegranates at the market is 300 TL, while products such as okra, yellow beans, kiwi, cowpeas, and cherries are being sold for 250 TL. This trend could negatively affect consumers’ budgets. On the other hand, fruits like plums, green beans, apricots, grapes, and balamyru are finding buyers at 200 TL.
Furthermore, the prices of scarlet runner beans, peaches, formosa peaches, nectarines, molokhia, lemons, chili peppers, and apples are set at 150 TL. There are also more affordable fruits and vegetables available, with pineapples and melons being sold for 100 TL per kilogram. Products like tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, and stuffed grape leaves are available at 60 TL.
In lower price ranges, watermelons are sold for 30 TL each, and custard apples are also priced at 30 TL per piece. The price differences in the market may significantly influence consumers’ shopping choices. Especially with the rise in wheat prices, food costs appear to have significantly increased.
Overall, the rising prices at the Nicosia Open Market are raising concerns about potential changes in the shopping habits of local residents. Consumers are closely monitoring how these prices will evolve.
In conclusion, while the open market in Nicosia draws attention with exorbitant prices, it highlights a selling atmosphere where vine leaves and figs stand out. This situation is considered a factor leading to increased costs for shoppers.
