Expanding Opportunities for U.S. Agricultural Exports to Türkiye and Regional Markets Türkiye is an important destination for U.S. agricultural exports and a strategic gateway to regional markets. As a Group of 20 economy with a young and expanding middle class and a population of more than 86 million people, Türkiye offers sustained demand for imported agricultural products. Although Türkiye is an agricultural exporter, it relies on imported inputs, including cotton, feed grains, oilseeds, and food ingredients as intermediate inputs, in producing food for domestic and export channels. During the past 5 fiscal years (FY)1, Turkish agricultural imports from the world have fluctuated moderately, ranging from $19.1 billion in FY 2021 to $26.3 billion in FY 2025. Despite inflationary pressures and the depreciation of the Turkish lira, Turkish consumers continue to demand higher-value food and beverage products from home and abroad. Most recently, the Government of Türkiye lifted its retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. agricultural products, helping to level the playing field and facilitating new export sales to Türkiye. Promising opportunities for U.S. exporters include tree nuts, cotton, soybeans, distilled spirits, live animals and livestock genetics, pulses, and rice.
