The Aegean Region Export Evaluation Meeting brought together key figures in agriculture and industry to discuss the challenges and successes of the sector. Despite the pandemic, Turkey's exports have surpassed 200 billion dollars in the last year, with the Aegean Exporters' Association seeing a 40% increase, reaching 8.5 billion dollars. The association aims to further increase this to 18 billion dollars in 2022. There is a call for the establishment of a special exporter's association for "Renewable Energy" equipment, as Turkey leads in this sector. The meeting also highlighted the need for better traceability and yield estimation in various industries, including dried fruits and metals, and discussed the impact of GTIP classification on exports of dried tomatoes.
