Turquía: Turkey imports first potatoes from war-torn Syria

Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci announced on June 27 that his nation has allowed a limited amount of potato imports from Syria to curb skyrocketing prices.

 “We have allowed potato imports from some parts of Syria where Turkey undertakes operations in a very limited amount. Our imports will only be 1 percent of Turkey’s potato demand, which is around 4,000 tons. We import potatoes from Syria in Turkish Liras. This factor has played a key role in pushing down the prices in the domestic market,” Zeybekci said during a press meeting in Ankara.

In an effort to curb prices last week, the government decided to allow potato and onion imports in certain amounts from some countries.

In Istanbul, the cost of one kilogram of onions rose by 212 percent to 6.5 liras ($1.5) over the past month. One kilo of onions was sold for around 1.3 liras last June. Potato prices also rose to 6 liras ($1.4) in June, a 94 percent month-on-month increase. One kilo of potatoes was around 1.5 liras last June.

Hurriyetdailynews.com reported that officials predict that potato prices, which are around 3 liras as of June 27, will be between 1.5 and 2.5 liras in July as fresh supplies arrive.
