AN agreement sealed between exporters and Turkish Cargo has boosted fresh fruit and vegetable exports by air, yielding US$9.6 million from January to October.
Exporters of fresh fruits and vegetables and Turkish Airlines (THY) cargo company Turkish Cargo came to an agreement in May on "special discounts and flights to new destinations" to reach consumers around the world in the quickest way possible and expand the market share of Turkish exporters, reports Istanbul's Daily Sabah.
Air cargo exports in the 10-month period increased 42 per cent compared to the same period last year, reaching 5,000 tonnes. The largest amount of exports was made to Hong Kong with $1.9 million, followed by France with $951,000 and Singapore with $947,000.
According to the information compiled by the Anadolu Agency (AA) from Aegean Exporters Association, Turkey achieved $1.3 billion in fresh fruits and vegetables exports in the first 10 months of the year.
Riza Seyyar, a board member of the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TIM) and chairman of the Aegean Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Union, said they accelerated the search for new markets after the political crises that occurred in the region in 2015.
Stressing that Turkey prefers road and sea transport, which are known as more traditional routes for exports, Mr Seyyar said they understood the importance of air cargo during their visit to Chile within the scope of the Support for the Promotion of International Competitiveness (URGE) project.
He recalled that they agreed with Turkish Cargo after initiating projects on air cargo exports, adding that they were able to easily reach new and remote markets in exports with discounts up to 75 per cent and new destinations following the agreement.
