ISTANBUL, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Türkiye's Thrace region is facing one of its driest seasons in decades, prompting early sunflower harvests, threatening crop yields, and raising concerns over rising prices and growing reliance on agricultural imports, experts have warned.
Renowned for its fertile plains and temperate climate, the region is a cornerstone of Türkiye's agricultural output -- particularly for crops like sunflowers and wheat.
