Mediterranean Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds and Products Exporters’ Association (AHBIB) President Veysel Memiş announced that bulgur, which has a history of 12 thousand years born in Anatolian and Mesopotamian civilisations, has reflected the rich and deep-rooted Turkish cuisine culture for centuries.
“Bulgur is one of the most basic foods of Turkish cuisine. The fact that Türkiye, the first country to produce bulgur with industrial methods, is the world leader in both production and exports today is due to these deep-rooted traditions,” Memiş said.
Stating that they are working to endear Turkish bulgur to the Russian people and to carry this product to the menus of Russian kitchens and restaurants, Memiş noted, “We are carrying out a worldwide study and aim to declare World Bulgur Day. Our goal is to have this declaration accepted by the United Nations during the 2025 harvest period.”
