Türkiye has halted poultry meat exports in a move to stabilize its domestic market and control fluctuating prices. This decision by the Turkish Trade Ministry aims to address the supply-demand imbalance and curb excessive price increases.

• The export suspension was implemented on Monday, February 9, following recent regional developments affecting global food markets and increased domestic demand.
• The Turkish Trade Ministry is closely monitoring poultry meat market prices, scrutinizing any speculative pricing behavior.
• The measure was taken after some companies in the poultry meat sector significantly raised their prices, despite earlier requests from ministry officials to reverse these increases.
