Turkey: Update on Effects of Covid-19 on Food and Agriculture

As Turkey implements measures to combat Covid-19, the food and agricultural sector has faced challenges as well. Export restrictions from Black Sea regional trading partners, weekend lockdowns (including the closing of all grocery stores), and fluctuating produce prices have all been topics of discussion among government officials, the media, and the private sector. New measures, including a 6 month delay in repaying government loans for farmers, a new online digital marketplace to connect producers with buyers, and additional duty-free grain tenders, aim to assist producers and ensure that the food supply meets demand.
