high end markets of Far Eastern countries and Europe since 2013. OB has
successfully marketed local apricot varieties as specialty product and able to
sells them at premium prices. The demand has steadily increasing about 50%
every year, starting from 4 tons to about 14 tons in last three years. One of the
major reasons for this increase is the uniqueness of the products being
