Turkey is facing potential shortages in flour and sugar due to a combination of factors, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has reduced wheat supply, drought, agricultural policy issues, and the sale of sugar factories. As a significant wheat importer, Turkey relies heavily on Russia and Ukraine for supply, and the cost of wheat has escalated, straining the country's economy. Efforts to seek new wheat sources and import sugar have contributed to market disruption and price increases, highlighting the severity of the situation and raising concerns about Turkey's self-sufficiency in these essential food products.
