One of the workers who got severely injured in the explosion at the Turkish Grain Board (TMO) silos in the northwestern province of Kocaeli lost his life on Aug. 9 while receiving treatment in the hospital.

The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) bought a record amount of over 5 million tons of wheat and over 1 million tons of barley this year, after the global food security rush due to both the pandemic and the Ukraine-Russia war.
