Table: TMO’s wheat export tenders.
As of November 28, the average durum wheat price on Turkey’s domestic market stood at $317 per tonne. TMO sells barley to local farmers at TRY 9,500-11,990 ($274-346) per tonne.
Turkey, a former wheat importer, has also become a natural gas, oil and barley exporter thanks to re-exports of Russian products to overcome the Ukraine War sanctions.
Story chart: Turkey remained the largest market for Russian wheat in the June 2023-June 2024 marketing year, importing a total of 7mn tonnes of wheat from Russia (@rusgrain).
According to the latest Turkey grains annual forecast released in April by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), Turkey is expected to export 2mn tonnes of durum between June 2024 and June 2025.
