Turkiye’s geographical location offers a key advantage in logistics, especially for supplying fresh poultry products to neighboring regions. Exporters aim to capitalize on this by investing in more efficient cold chain systems and transportation networks to reduce delivery times and costs, making Turkish poultry more attractive to buyers abroad.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is playing a proactive role by intensifying export inspections and quality control procedures. These efforts aim to safeguard both consumer safety and Turkiye’s commercial reputation in global markets.

Experts note that such export growth carries significant implications for the rural economy. With increased international demand, more jobs can be created in poultry farming, processing, and logistics. It also provides stable income opportunities for small and medium-scale producers across Anatolia.

If realized, the $1.5 billion export goal will not only strengthen Turkiye’s position in global agri-food trade but also contribute to a more resilient and inclusive agricultural economy. Stakeholders across the supply chain are optimistic that improved regulatory alignment, investment in infrastructure, and strategic market engagement will deliver lasting benefits.
