The milk and dairy products sector in Turkey has experienced a significant increase in exports, particularly to North African countries, as the pandemic disrupted global supply chains. In 2021, exports to Egypt, Iraq, and Algeria increased by 350%, 456%, and 456% respectively, with the total export value reaching $500 million. The first two months of 2022 also saw a 53% increase in exports, totaling $95.6 million. Harun Çallı, Chairman of the Packaged Milk and Dairy Products Manufacturers Association, anticipates further growth in exports in the coming year, as long as there are no shortages in raw materials. The increase in dairy product exports is attributed to the availability of Turkish products and competitive pricing. However, exports to Qatar have seen a decline due to the country's efforts to reduce imports and promote local production.
