Speaking at the IAOM Eurasia Conference & Expo 2025, Turkish Mercantile Exchange (TMEX – TÜRİB) General Manager Ali Kırali announced that climate change and successive crises increasingly threaten grain production. He stated that the solution lies in modern storage infrastructure, transparent markets and the financial sustainability of farmers.
Kırali’s key messages:
- Licensed warehousing, the insurance of food supply security: Capacity surged from 4 MMT to 14 MMT in 6 years, with a medium-term target of 20 MMT.
- ELÜS (Electronic Warehouse Receipts – EWR) market: A reliable and transparent trading platform where over 270,000 producers, traders and industrialists transact.
- A financial breath of fresh air for farmers: Thanks to the use of ELÜS as loan collateral, producers have risen from the most vulnerable to the most preferred group in banking.
In his speech, Ali Kırali highlighted multiple risks such as the climate crisis, geopolitical tensions and market volatility, saying, “We are ensuring resilience in the grain market against multiple risks through licensed warehouses and the ELÜS market.”
