Chestnuts have become rare in Sibiu's Cibin Market, with only two vendors selling them. Local chestnuts are hard to find due to a lack of new plantations and changing consumer habits. One vendor, Simona, sources her chestnuts from Polovragi and notes that sales have declined compared to the past. Italian chestnuts are also available at a slightly lower price. Besides chestnuts, the market offers seasonal fruits like quinces, pears, and grapes, along with other autumn products such as pumpkins and hazelnuts.
