Turkey has started exporting poultry and poultry products to China, following over nine years of negotiations, and is projected to generate an additional $20 million in annual value for the national economy. This comes as Turkey is preparing to export these goods to 73 countries, including Iraq, Georgia, Japan, and Russia. The exports have been made possible through a draft protocol on the control, quarantine, and veterinary status of poultry, and will see around 38 Turkish companies relocating to China to facilitate the exports. China, being the largest consumer of chicken feet, is particularly interested in this product from Turkey.
