Highlighting that the Non-Wood Forest Products Technical Committee will continue its work with a proactive approach in 2026, Gürle added, “It will continue technical harmonisation efforts in target markets, particularly the European Union and the United States, and will continue to effectively represent our sector on the international stage. These efforts aim to further enhance the global competitiveness of the Turkish spice and forest products sector.”
