Turkey reduced customs duty to zero on canola oil, safflower oil, corn oil, soybean and palm oil

In response to potential sunflower oil supply issues due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a new measure has been implemented to allow the import of various alternative oils with zero customs duty. These alternatives include canola, safflower, corn, soybean, and palm oil. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has been granted the authority to regulate the export of a range of agricultural and food products, such as red and white meat, eggs, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and many other commodities. This move aims to mitigate the impact of the conflict on the availability of essential food products in the market.
