Turkey's chili pepper exports reached 12 million 226 thousand dollars in 2023, an 18 percent increase from the previous year. The exports of 3 thousand 544 tons of red pepper flakes went to 99 countries, with Germany being the top importer. The increase in export figures is attributed to the continued production by farmers in the region, and it is hoped that export figures will continue to rise in 2024 with the increase in pepper planting areas.
