In December 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey decided to indefinitely halt the exports of fresh or chilled potatoes (HS code: 0701.90) and onions (HS code: 0703.10.19.00.11). The primary reason for this decision is to ensure food security and price stability in potatoes and onions within the country. Phytosanitary/health certificates will not be issued for export applications for potatoes or onions.
