In January, Turkey's aquatic product exports experienced a 12% increase from the previous year, reaching $100.809 million. This growth contributes to the historical high of $1.53 billion in exports that Turkey achieved in 2020. The increase is primarily due to a boost in aquaculture exports, with sea bass being the top product. The Turkish Fisheries and Animal Products Exporters' Association aims to further increase exports to $1.5 billion by 2023. The demand for aquatic products, especially sea bass and sea bream, has seen a surge, both domestically and internationally, particularly in the EU, with the Netherlands and Italy being the main markets.
