Turkey: Exporter Guide

Turkey has a young population of 84 million people fueling consumption of consumer-oriented agricultural products. The country is in a Customs Union with the EU and is the 20th largest economy in the world and the 7th largest agricultural producer. Despite the current economic slowdown and geopolitical difficulties, there is still a gap in the market to fill, and increased demand in the long-term for many different types of agricultural products is expected to continue. With the effects of COVID-19-related restrictions and the stagnation in the economy, food inflation is a major concern but there has been no scarcity of food or beverage availability for those with adequate means.
