    THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE SECTOR IN TURKEY FLANDERS INVESTMENT & TRADE MARKET SURVEY Study The Turkish Food and Beverage Sector Market Study, December 2018 Author: Ezgi Çeri / Invest Deputy Flanders Investment and Trade c/o Consulate General of Belgium Siraselviler Caddesi 39 34433 Taksim Istanbul – Turkiye [email protected] T: +90 212 293 99 17 1 1 INTRO The following report aims to guide the trade and investment strategies of Flemish companies seeking to expand into the Turkish food and beverage market. First of all we need to point out that Turkey itself is a big producer of food and beverages. The sector has almost %20 of the country's GDP (2017). This has to do with the fact that the country is blessed with a suitable climate and ecological conditions for agricultural production, for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Turkey is the 7th largest agricultural producer in the world, and the largest one in Europe. It is the world’s largest producer of apricots, hazelnuts, figs, cherries and sour cherries, quinces. It is Europe’s largest producer of apples, green beans, beeswax, chestnuts, chick peas, green chilies and peppers, cotton lint, cottonseed, cucumbers and gherkins, eggplants, grapefruits, natural honey, leeks, lemons and limes, lentils, chicken meat, melons, whole fresh sheep milk, dry onions, green onions, pistachios, safflower seed, spices, spinach, strawberries, tea, tomatoes, vanilla, vetches, walnuts, watermelons. No wonder then that Turkey’s exports of food and beverages are much larger than its imports. In 2017 Turkey’s exports of the food & beverage industry reached USD 11,.7 billion.
