In 2022, Turkey saw a 4% increase in tomato exports, reaching a value of $377.42 million with a total of 526,703 tons exported to 54 countries. Romania emerged as the leading importer, with products worth $65.23 million. However, a decline in the Russian market, which previously accounted for about $200 million in annual imports, limited export figures. The increase in exports to the Balkan countries, particularly Salkym tomatoes, helped offset this loss. The head of the Association of Investors and Greenhouse Producers, Myuslum Janmaz, expressed satisfaction with the growth but noted that the goal is to increase tomato exports to $500 million.
