İZMİR - Turkish egg producers are enduring tough times due to northern Iraqs decision to produce its own eggs. In a move to support its own producers, Northern Iraq has now banned Turkish eggs.
Some 90 percent of Turkeys egg exports involve northern Iraq, said Derya Pala, chairwoman of the Turkish Egg Producers Association. "When northern Iraq banned Turkish eggs, we started to go through a tough time through Syria. This decision has caused a 50 percent drop in our egg exports in the last month," she said.
Turkish egg producers previously traveled through Habur Border Gate, said Pala. "However, that is not the case anymore. We have to manage our trades with Iraq via Syria due to the ban in northern Iraq. Transport via Syria costs us extra. Additional taxes also weigh us down," she said. "This route also has some serious security issues."
Previously, Turkey sent 80 tractor-trailers to Iraq prior to the ban. Last month that figure declined 50 percent to 40 tractor-trailers, Pala said. "Via the Foreign Trade Ministry, we will visit Iraq and talk about direct exports to Baghdad."
Moron two months ago Turkey have been let to export poultry production to EU countries.
If you are so interested on such very specific economic news of Turkey, you should have knew that. Derya Pala is the owner of the company - Derya Tavukçuluk A.S - (also she is the chairwoman of the TEPA -YUMBIR) which exports its products only middle east countries, thats her arse pain and nothing to do with Turkey's general condition on poultry sector.
In the article it says; "Some 90 percent of Turkeys egg exports involve northern Iraq, said Derya Pala"
Thats not true anymore,
Since as i already told you about the new export market of Turkey in the west, who cares the terorized lands of N. Iraq except if your company has strong ties with eastern market for decades?
Thats a company crying article not a Turkish one. She uses his chair to advertise it nothing more.
Wooferian must be thinking that everything in Armenia is honky dory to concern himself with egg sales of Turkey. It is about time for him to find out that Armenian girls are working as prostitutes all over the Asia and Europe to feed their relatives back home.
