Turkiye: Update on Turkiye's Pesticide MRLs and Registration Requirements for Plant Protection Products

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2024-0001
This report provides the latest information on Turkiye’s regulatory system for establishing maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on food products and how to license plant protection products (PPPs). Turkiye’s pesticide MRLs are similar to that of the European Union, but not fully harmonized. Pesticide MRLs for imported products are updated every few years. For a PPP to be licensed in Turkiye, it must be first licensed in the European Union (EU) or a G8 country.
