Turkish government is offering incentives to fish producers to boost fish consumption in the country

The Turkish government will offer additional support of 0.3 USD per kg for all the processed fish products which are sold to the retailers and supermarket chains.

The government is implementing this measure to increase fish consumption in the country and to encourage fish companies to produce value-added and ready to consume products for the consumers. Currently, the annual fish product consumption in Turkey is around 5.5 kg per person whereas the global average is around 15-16 kg.
