Muhammet Öztürk, Chair of the Aegean Cereals, Pulses, Oil Seeds and Products Exporters’ Association, said that in 2024, they exported 11.9 billion dollars as a sector across the country and that the biggest contribution to the exports of 965 million dollars from the Aegean Region was made by vegetable oils with 483 million dollars, animal feeds with 140 million dollars, and chocolate confectionery products with 103 million dollars.
Underlining that in 2024, exchange rates did not reach the levels they should be, Öztürk said, “We will continue to work, produce and support exports with all our strength to ramp up exports and break new records, especially in this period when climate change negatively affects agricultural production and the criteria for exports to the European Union become more difficult every year. I congratulate our exporters for their efforts to realise our export targets.”
