Turkiye: Sugar Semi-annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2023-0033

The Turkish government increased the MY 2023/24 sugar production quota by nearly 6 percent year-over-year to 3.0 million metric tons (MMT) to accommodate for growing consumption. Beet sugar accounts for about 97 percent of the quota and the remainder is starch-based sugar made from corn. For MY 2023/24, beet sugar production is expected to reach 3.05 MMT. Imports are forecast at 400,000 metric tons (MT), nearly all of which will be used in making confectionary products for export.
