Ministry of Commerce Halts Table Egg Exports – Breaking News
The Ministry of Commerce in Turkey has announced its priorities in ensuring a sustainable food supply and consumption balance. In a recent statement, the Ministry emphasized the importance of protecting domestic production and meeting the consumption needs of citizens at reasonable prices. The statement also highlighted the threats to food supply safety and the need to eliminate these threats by ensuring a sustainable food supply in the country.
The statement mentioned that in the last quarter of 2024, bird flu outbreaks have started to affect egg production in Turkey. Eggs are a vital source of protein in the country, and the decrease in production due to bird flu outbreaks has led to an increase in domestic prices.
To address the challenges faced by the egg industry, the Ministry of Commerce has implemented a support measure of 50 cents per kilogram for egg exports. This decision aims to stabilize prices and support the industry in meeting the growing external demand for eggs.
The Ministry of Commerce also emphasized its commitment to working with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and other relevant organizations to ensure the protection of food supply and safety. The focus will be on facilitating the transportation of food at reasonable prices and preventing speculation in food markets.
Overall, the Ministry of Commerce is dedicated to safeguarding the food security of the Turkish population and ensuring a stable and sustainable food supply for the future. Their efforts will be guided by strong policies and effective monitoring tools to address any challenges that may arise in the food industry.
