Registered prices extracted from the Gemlik Commodity Exchange's monthly bulletins: black and green table olives, extra virgin oil and paste. Forty months of quantity-weighted averages.
Marmarabirlik purchase prices — 2025/2026 season

Marmara has no exchange price for olives: none of the region's exchanges report registrations to the national portal, so the cooperative's announced purchase price is the regional reference. Only the announced end points are shown — Marmarabirlik does not publish prices for the intermediate calibres, and none are invented here.

Why does this data matter?
Gemlik is the centre of Türkiye's best-known table olive variety, and more than 80% of Marmara's crop is processed as black table olives. Yet no Marmara exchange reports olive registrations to the national price portal, so the region is invisible in the country's official price picture. These forty months are the only structured record of what was actually registered there.
