Underlining that milk producers are experiencing a serious bottleneck currently because of milk prices, Turkey Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters’ Association Industry Board Chairman Sinan Kızıltan said, “In this process, emergence of the Chinese export visa and start of the exports to this country will breathe the sector in the future.”
Kızıltan shared the information that 54 companies producing at world standards in the Turkish dairy industry received permission to export to China and noted, “Our companies, which received export permission to China, contacted with Chinese importers in digital environment during the pandemic period. 17 companies succeeded in exporting 6,590 tons of dairy products in the last 5 months.”
