In November 2024, Turkey overtook Spain, the unchallenged leader, in imports of Ukrainian corn, Dmytro Solomchuk, MP, member of the Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy, said on Facebook.
“In terms of physical weight, the figures are significant – 2.5 million tons of exports in November, of which 620 thousand tons were bought by Turkey,” he wrote.
The MP noted that in November, a total of $2.3 billion worth of agricultural products were exported, of which only $512 million was corn.
As reported, on October 10, 2024, Turkey introduced quotas on imports of 1 million tons of corn and reduced the duty to 5% by the end of December 2024.
