Minister of Commerce Prof. Dr. Ömer Bolat held a meeting with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Aegean Olive and Olive Oil Exporters Association and his delegation regarding the export and production of the sector to Turkey.
Emphasizing that Turkey is one of the important countries in world olive oil exports, Minister Bolat said, “While olive oil production decreased in the leading countries of Europe due to the drought in Europe in the 2022-2023 season, Turkey's olive oil production increased by approximately 78 percent, reaching 422 thousand tons.” "It has reached a record level," he said.
