In the statement made by the Ministry of Commerce, "As it is known, in our country, which is among the most important producer and exporter countries in the world in the poultry and white meat sector, the current production volume has been reached with the correct policies in production and export that have been going on for years, and the sector has been combining domestic demand with foreign demand for many years." Regional and global risks experienced in recent years have created an upward trend on the global food price index and, accordingly, have revealed the activities of countries to protect their domestic market supply, especially in basic agricultural products, in terms of consumption in our country as well as in various products. "Poultry products, which are the most important means of animal protein, were also included in the List of Goods Subject to Export Registration in May 2023."
