Baku. Azerbaijan. August 6. Before Turkey
stopped importing wheat from abroad, it had increased purchases
from Russia to a maximum of $140.3 million since January this year,
Trend reports.
The Turkish government stopped importing wheat from June 21 to
October 15. It was noted that this was one of the measures aimed at
protecting local producers so that they would not suffer as a
result of falling grain prices.
In June, Russia increased wheat exports to Turkey by 11% to
$140.3 million. At the same time, at the beginning of the summer,
Russia remained the only major supplier of grain to Turkey: imports
from Ukraine, traditionally the second largest exporter, decreased
eightfold to $2.1 million.
Overall, wheat imports to Turkey in June decreased by 0.8% to
$143.8 million.
