The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Turkey has imposed a restriction on tomato exports until April 14, 2023, in response to rising prices and the impact of an earthquake on 11 provinces. The restriction does not apply to export applications in progress or those submitted to the TAREKS system. The ministry continues to process export applications to regions under security in Northern Cyprus, Palestine, Azerbaijan, and Syria. The average price of tomatoes has surged by over 50% from 13 TL to 20 TL in recent days.
