Turkey: Turkish Ministry of Agriculture Authorized to Implement Export Restrictions

On January 27, 2022, the Turkish government published a new regulation delegating specific authority for the decision to implement export bans on a list of agricultural commodities during 2022 to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MinAF). Although MinAF has not yet instituted any export bans for these 20 products, this authorization allows MinAF to move quickly to ban exports of these products in response to food inflation and supply shortages that may occur in Turkey.
