Turkey to increase tomato shipments to Russia

Printable version 
Russia has just decided to import a larger volume of tomatoes from Turkey.
 
Local media announce Russian decision to import more Turkish tomatoes. "We expect a resumption of tomato exports to Russia, and Russia will again become the number one export market," said Hayrettin Uçak, president of the Association of Aegean Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Exporters.
 
For years Russia has been the leading export market for Turkish producers, but the introduction of quotas has slowed down volumes. In 2021, exports to Russia of Turkish tomatoes reached 68 million USD but only 33 million USD in 2022.
 
In total for all destinations, tomato export revenues amounted to USD 377 million in 2022 and already USD 145 million for the 1st quarter of 2023. Total tomato exports could reach USD 500 million at the end of 2023.
