IZMIR, TURKIYE - OCTOBER 3: Women carry out the process of drying persimmons, known locally as 'heavenly persimmon', as the harvest season begins in the Odemis district of Izmir, Turkiye on October 3, 2024. The fruits, picked from orchards for drying, are peeled by hand and hung from their stems on wires using tools. Dried under the sun for about three weeks, the fruits are sold both domestically and internationally. Hasan Ucar / Anadolu/ABACAPRESS.COM
