At the beginning of each year, the Turkish Ministry of Trade (MoT) publishes the tariff schedule for all commodities including agricultural products for the upcoming year. Depending on market conditions, the MoT may adjust tariff rates during the year for selected imports of agricultural and other products. So far in 2024, the MoT has temporarily lowered tariffs for sunflowerseed for crushing, sunflower oil, and rice. Other tariff adjustments may happen at any time during the year.
