Mersin farmers held a protest over cheap lemon prices

Mersin's lemon farmers held a protest in the city park under the slogan "We are being squeezed like lemons".  The reason for the protest: the purchase price of lemons does not match the cost of production. "We are asking for support from the President and the Minister of Agriculture. We cannot sell what we produce. We are forced to sell lemons for 1 lira per kilogram, while in the bazaars they are sold for 15-20 lira per kilogram. We can't even buy a loaf of bread with the proceeds," the farmers are indignant.
