A 17-Month Record in Exports: A 41% Increase in October!

Turkey's flour export reached the highest level in the past 17 months in October 2023. This striking increase is seen by industry representatives as a significant turning point. As a result of the fluctuations experienced in recent years, a 41% increase was achieved in October.

The recovery in flour and wheat flour exports came after a downward trend throughout the year. Experts indicate that this increase has given a new momentum to Turkey's overall trade in the last quarter of the year. Officials predict that this positive development will continue in the coming months.

Çakmak recalled that Turkey's wheat flour export was 171 thousand tons and 67 million dollars in October of last year, while in the same period this year, these figures were recorded as 241 thousand tons and 86 million dollars. This increase is directly related to the rise in market demand and improvements in production capacity.

The increase experienced in October will not only have significant implications in terms of numbers but also in terms of morale and motivation within the industry. This positive atmosphere in flour and wheat production can contribute to the entire agricultural production chain and create a stability that can help raise export targets higher.

Industry officials state that such momentum will strengthen Turkey's position among processed food products and lay the groundwork for a more solid presence in the global market. With the increase in exports, it is anticipated that Turkey's competitive strength in the flour and wheat flour market will rise, and this will have positive effects on the economy directly.
