BUYER REJECTED THE PRODUCT, THE BOUNTY WENT TO WASTE
According to the information obtained, the incident occurred in the Gümüşhacıköy district of Amasya.

However, after the transport vehicle reached the destination, the buyer side refused to accept the products for an unknown reason.
CLAIM: "THE PROCESS IS LEGAL, THERE IS A COURT DECISION"

Following this unusual incident, which caused both financial loss and food waste, the transporter defended himself. Making a statement after the images drew reactions, the carrier claimed that dumping the watermelons was not his own initiative, that he acted in accordance with the law, and that the process was carried out based on a court decision.
