While the fisheries and animal products sector is represented by 21 companies in the Turkish Exporters’ Assembly (TIM) Top 1000 exporters list, Aegean aquaculture and animal products exporters dominated the list with 11 companies.
Sinan Kızıltan, Chairman of the Turkish Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters’ Associations Sector Board, stated that they make production to meet the world’s need for protein for three meals and added that after these efforts, they managed to take place in the TIM Top 1000 Exporters List with 21 companies and that 12 of the 21 companies are Aegean exporters and that they are proud of this.
Emphasising that 11 Aegean companies have succeeded in exporting 1 billion 250 million dollars in 2023, Kızıltan said: “In our fisheries, poultry, egg, dairy and honey sub-sectors, we meet Türkiye’s needs and export to more than 100 countries. It is necessary to look at exports as the insurance of our producers.”
“As long as there are no restrictions on exports, our producers go on to produce. Export restrictions harm both our producers, exporters and the image of our country. If there are no export restrictions, we have the potential to ramp up the number of companies in the TIM Top 1000 Exporters List in 2024,” he added…
