Turkey's Flower Export is Preparing to Break Records

Turkey, a country noted for its rich flora, is increasing its strong production capacity in the field of floriculture every day. The country boasts over 3,500 endemic plant species, which provides a significant advantage for the floriculture sector. The sector aims to establish a solid presence in the international market by evaluating opportunities abroad in addition to the demands in the domestic market.

İsmail Yılmaz, the president of the Exporters Union of Ornamental Plants and Products, stated that flower exports will continue to show strong performance until 2025. Yılmaz noted that as of 2023, exports in the sector reached 137 million dollars in the first 10 months of the year, reflecting an increase of approximately 15 percent compared to the same period last year.

Thus, Turkey is rapidly advancing towards its goal of becoming a prominent player in the global flower market. Flower exports contribute to economic development and provide an opportunity to promote Turkish culture internationally. The increasing demand, especially in the European and Middle Eastern markets, is raising interest in Turkey's floriculture sector.

The successes achieved in exports are a reflection of the efforts and dedication of producers and exporters in the sector. Turkey aims to increase its competitive power in the international market with high-quality and aesthetically valuable floriculture products. With investments and innovations aimed at the future, the sector aims to ensure sustainable growth.

In the remaining months of 2023, an increase in export figures is expected. The rise in Turkey's flower production can be further strengthened by supporting domestic producers and offering products that meet international standards. In this process, the strategies and marketing techniques to be followed will support the growth of the floriculture sector in the global arena.
