With North African nations; especially Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia; struggling with climate-induced shortages, Türkiye has emerged as a key agricultural supplier, boosting exports of grain, citrus, pulses, and olive oil. EU reports show Turkish agricultural exports to North Africa rose 12% in H1 2025, bringing critical food value to regional markets.

Türkiye’s geographically advantageous position, plus its upgraded port infrastructure and growing cold-chain capacity, enables exporters to deliver fresh produce and grains with short lead times. Events like the Agritec Africa conference in Nairobi (June 2025) and business missions hosted by Turkish exporters signal expanding demand across East and North Africa.

For global buyers; distributors and retail networks; this opens sourcing potential at guaranteed quality with predictable delivery schedules. GTA coordinates inspections, cold-chain booking, and customs for perishable and dry bulk goods, delivering from İstanbul, Mersin, or İzmir to Africa.

Tip for Buyers: Seek products with dual certification (GlobalGAP, organic) and secure agricultural finance. GTA helps allocate containers, insurance, and LCL/FCL options.
