Turkiye: Turkish Government Establishes Feeder Cattle Quota for 2024

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2024-0004
In January 2024 the Turkish government established an import quota for feeder cattle at 600,000 head. This number may be increased during the year as determined by the Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry and the Turkish Milk and Meat Board (ESK) depending on market conditions. While this change in the Turkish government's involvement is sudden, it appears to reflect a desire within the Turkish government to shift imports to lower cost sources. As a result of this change, Turkish livestock producers will not be able to choose their own animals, as ESK will choose and distribute animals to farms following quarantine testing.
