Agriculture and Food Industry
With $33 billion in exports, Türkiye ranks among the world’s leading agriculture and food exporters. But lasting competitiveness is now won through sustainability, traceability, and value-added branding.
With exports exceeding $33 billion and a wide variety of production, Türkiye ranks among the world’s leading agriculture and food exporters. Sustainability, traceability, and value-added branding are defining the industry’s new competitive dynamics.
With a broad product portfolio that includes fresh fruit and vegetables, processed foods, pulses, olive oil, hazelnuts, grains, and seafood, Türkiye exports to more than 180 countries. Yet competition in global markets is no longer shaped by production capacity alone; it is shaped by compliance with international standards, digital supply chain management, and brand value. The European Union’s EUDR rules and growing demand for premium food in Latin America are creating new growth opportunities for the industry.
The product range is strong. Next come traceability and brand value.
Key Challenges

- Value-Added ExportsDespite a strong product portfolio, an unbranded export structure increases price pressure and limits competitive advantage.
- International CertificationQuality standards such as FSSC 22000, BRC, and IFS are a basic requirement for access to global markets.
- Operational TransformationGlobal buyers prioritize sustainability, quality assurance, and transparent supply chain management when selecting suppliers.
Strategic Opportunities

- Geographical Indication ProductsStrong brand positioning and a compelling product story deliver high added value and a price premium in international markets.
- Halal Food EcosystemTürkiye’s production capacity creates a sustainable competitive advantage in emerging markets.
