Strong Export Momentum from Turkish Companies to Syria

With the end of the 61-year Ba'ath regime in Syria, Turkish companies have significantly increased their exports to the country in the first month of the new year.

According to data from the Southeastern Anatolia Exporters' Association (GAİB), exports to Syria, which amounted to $50.4 million in January last year, have surged by 34% to reach $67.5 million in the same period this year.

Syria as a New Trade Gateway

GAİB officials emphasize that trade relations with Syria should not be built solely on short-term gains but should be developed through long-term strategic projects.

Syria is not just a standalone market but a bridge to the broader Middle East and Africa. Recent regulatory adjustments have facilitated more sustainable exports, and with the right planning, trade volume is expected to grow even further.

Huge Potential in Grain and Pulses Exports

Representatives from the GAİB Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, and Products Exporters' Association point out that the biggest export growth to Syria has been in the grain and pulses sector.

The sector currently records an annual export volume of $350 million, but this figure is projected to rise to $500-600 million. As Turkey strengthens its presence in the Syrian market, trade is expected to expand significantly in the coming years.
