Istanbul Cereals Pulses Oil Seeds and Products Exporters' Association

Companies in the European Union and the Balkan countries have been turning to suppliers in Türkiye over the past weeks as troubles in the Red Sea increase freight costs and disrupt deliveries, business daily Dünya has reported.

Türkiye's flour companies are ready to handle the Russian grain to be sent to African nations if the plan goes through, say representatives from the industry.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan last week paid a one-day visit to Sochi to hold talks on reviving the key grain deal with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
