The Aegean Olive and Olive Oil Exporters' Association (EZZİB) aims to reach 1 billion dollars in exports in the next 5 years. In the 2020/2021 season, olive exports increased by 5% to 88 thousand tons, generating 150 million dollars. The main markets for olive oil were the USA, Spain, Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, with total exports reaching 294 million dollars. EZZİB is calling for continued support for the sector and changes to EU quota policies and UK customs duties to increase exports. A reduction in VAT on olive and olive oil in Turkey is expected to boost domestic consumption.
