Sinan Kızıltan, the chairperson of Türkiye’s sector board for Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters’ Associations, announced that exports in the sector are progressing positively.
Kızıltan stated that the Black Sea’s contribution to the country’s seafood exports is increasing rapidly and highlighted the significance of salmon export growth.
He emphasized that 32,000 tonnes of Turkish salmon were produced in the first half of the year.
“We expect all of these fish and the frozen products to be sold by the end of the year. We anticipate this will generate about 500 to 600 million dollars in export revenue for producers in the Black Sea region,” he explained.
“What we call Turkish salmon is a type of trout. There are broad market opportunities here. As the fish is increasingly processed and filleted, we expect to reach many new markets.”
“With investments especially in the Black Sea region, we project that by 2032 or by 2035 at the latest, Turkish salmon will generate over 1 billion dollars in export revenue for Türkiye,” he concluded.
