Turkey’s latest 2012-13 winter crop generally underwent favorable conditions, particularly so in the south, in an area from Mugla to Van. The northeast also experienced close-to-average crop conditions, better than average in April and May, but slightly below average in July. The only areas where conditions were definitely below expectations are located in Rize and Trabzon near the Black Sea coast.
