Türkiye’s agricultural sector is adapting rapidly. In a bid to boost exports amid drought concerns, the government has lifted wheat import restrictions, allowing increased grain flows to the EU and beyond. This shift helps balance domestic stocks and lets international buyers secure stable supplies.

Meanwhile, record agricultural exports reached $36.2 billion in 2024, up 3.3% year-on-year. With Antalya behind nearly half of Turkey’s vegetable exports, the country remains a premium source of fresh produce, dried fruits, and pulses.

On the production front, however, risks remain: 2025 wheat output is forecast to dip to 18.6 million tons due to severe drought; a 65-year low; putting pressure on yield volumes and pricing.

For international growers and commodity buyers, Türkiye presents both opportunities and risks: favorable export channels and policy support—but caution around agricultural volatility. GTA can assist with insurance support, packaging compliance, and logistics for safe cross-border delivery.
