Özdemir, who also serves as the Chairman of Mersin Commodity Exchange, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that interest in food products with a long shelf life has increased due to the Kovid-19 process and the Russia-Ukraine war. Emphasizing that legumes stand out among the products with high demand due to their nutritiveness and easy storage conditions, Özdemir said that durum and bread wheat are among the most important raw materials on the agenda. Informing that Turkey produced 17 million 650 thousand tons of wheat last year despite the drought, Özdemir said: "With all the numbers at hand, Turkey should not have a wheat shortage. Moreover, there are 3-4 months left for the new season wheat harvest. Harvest is done in July. When you combine the stocks in the hands of the Turkish Grain Board, the ships with the purchased wheat, especially the bread wheat, the products in the licensed warehouses, the goods in the hands of the farmers and the industrialists, we have to spend 3 months without any problems until the harvest season.
