Turkish Salmon Exports Record: 368 Million Dollars!

Turkey's salmon exports reached an impressive figure of 368 million 929 thousand 884 dollars in the first nine months of 2023. This result showcases Turkey's rise in the seafood market and its competitive strength on a global scale.

According to the data from the Eastern Black Sea Exporters Union (DKİB), Turkish salmon is transferred to cages in the Black Sea after reaching a certain weight in specially designed inland farms, where it is cultivated. This process is of great importance for both quality control and sustainable fishing practices.

As of January-September 2023, Turkish salmon has found buyers in a total of 30 countries. The widespread nature of this export indicates how effective Turkish producers are in the international market. The success achieved, especially in European and Asian markets, proves that the quality of Turkish salmon meets international standards.

The revenue generated from Turkish salmon also highlights the sector's growth potential. Among the exporters' goals is to increase these figures further in the coming periods. Thanks to the modern farming methods and export strategies applied, it is expected that Turkish salmon will become a sustainable brand. This situation also provides significant economic contributions to local producers and encourages further development of production processes.

In the coming months, new market research will be conducted to increase Turkish salmon exports, aiming to promote fresh and quality products in more countries. The success achieved in our country's salmon production stands out as a significant development both economically and in terms of sectoral growth.
