3617	Turkey looks to import beef from Paraguay	In May, an audit mission will be sent to the South-American country to inspect the plants.	<p>Turkey intends to open the market for Paraguayan beef and an audit mission has already established in May to inspect and certify the processing plants.

Until now, Turkey imported beef from several European countries and Brazil but Paraguayan beef looks to have the advantage of price.<br />Paraguay ended 2019 with a turnover of $1,023 million for the beef exported, a decline of 5.9% compared to the year before. This is the second consecutive year with a downward turnover for the beef industry in Paraguay, according to data issued by the National Animal Quality Service (Senacsa).<br />The situation was created by a drop in both volumes exported and the value of the Paraguayan beef in the international market.</p> <p>In 2019, 247,168 tonnes were exported for a total of $1,023 million ($4,138.5 per ton). While in 2018, 257,415 tonnes worth $1,087 million ($4,217.2) were sent to the markets and in 2017 258,232 tonnes for $1,102 million ($4,268) were placed. In the last decade, the most relevant billing was achieved in 2014 with a total income of $1,245 million, after exporting 268,940 tonnes ($4,629), also the largest record for the industry. Full access in the Turkish beef market comes with high duties but, occasionally, the Turkish government <span class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en">holds tenders to buy duty-free red protein, or with a smaller percentage, to balance the market and domestic consumption.</span> </p>	1		Market		2020-02-18 11:34:17	2025-08-13 07:59:38	Details Edit Delete

572	Turkey resumes egg exports to EU after 6 years	Turkish egg producers regained access on the European market after 6 years due to insecticide scandal from last July which leads to a slump in production in some countries across the continent.	<p>Bedri Girit, Vice Chairman of The Aegean Fisheries and Animal Product Exporters Association confirms that it is over two months now since the export of eggs was resumed to the European market, mentioned <a href="https://www.dailysabah.com/business/2018/01/08/after-6-years-turkeys-egg-exports-to-europe-commence">Daily Sabah</a>.</p> <p>Egg productions in Europe have dropped after multiple batches were found contaminated with Fipronil, an insecticide used in different countries. The pastry and cake industry are now confronted with a lack of pasteurized eggs.</p> <p>For now, Turkey exports only category B eggs in the EU, although Girit claims that there are small differences between B and A category. "They preferred us because they knew that our products are healthy. We have started exporting category B products. There is little difference between category A and category B products. Eggs that will be pasteurized are classified in the B category. We do not export category A eggs that can be sold directly to consumers", said Bedri Girit who claims that there are also political reasons for keeping the A category eggs out from the European market.</p> <p>Last year, Turkey's egg export grew by almost 25-30 percent, due to regaining access to the markets from EU and Iran and a strong demand from UAE. Egg exports generated 377 million dollars for Turkey, Greece, Romania, and Spain being the main European markets for Turkish exporters.</p>	1		Retail		2018-01-09 14:12:10	2025-08-13 07:18:12	Details Edit Delete

3178	Turkey's cattle imports lifts enough to worry local breeders	Despite the increase in the national herd, the country remains dependent on cattle and sheep imports.	<p>Cattle farmers in Turkey are urging the authorities to halt livestock imports and to offer support for their businesses. Poor economic conditions have increased inflation and, along with it, the production costs for Turkish farmers, according to Ahval News website.<br />Last week, 3,000 animals arrived from Spain and others are to come from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland as the Muslim holiday of Eid al Adha is ongoing. Prices for feed, medicine and diesel have increased in the last twelve months making the Turkish livestock sector inefficient, despite the fast rebuild of the national herd seen in the last couple of years.<br />Meanwhile, the number of cattle in Turkey increased by nearly 7 percent in 2018, reaching 17.2 million, while the number of sheep and goats increased by more than 4 percent to reach 46.1 million. In 2017, the number of cattle increased by more than 13 percent.</p> <p>The number of animals in the country is on the rise with each passing year, even as meat consumption is in decline. In the first quarter of 2019, red meat consumption in Turkey fell by 18.6 percent from the previous quarter and 16.5 percent compared to the same quarter last year, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute.<br />Nevertheless, Turkey remains one major cattle importer as the government continues to buy livestock from abroad and sell the meat bellow the acquisition price. For a local producer, the production costs for one kilo of beef is about 27 lira but the average market price is at 25-26 lira due to cattle imports, as Cevdet Guney, former owner of a leading agriculture and stockbreeding company in Hatay, declared for the newspaper. Last year, Turkey has imported 1.2 million cattle, a figure that ranked the country as the second largest livestock importer in the world, right behind the US. Both countries are accounting for 82% of global livestock imports in 2018. Since then, Turkey has limited or halted livestock imports from some European countries such as Ireland but it still receiving shipments from others.</p>	1		Market		2019-08-14 10:46:27	2025-08-13 10:38:23	Details Edit Delete
