Quota problem solved in white poppy export to India

Turkish white poppy received export visa to India, the largest export market.

Exporting companies loaded their products on ships to send them to India after a gap of 2.5 years. The sector aims to export 80 million dollars of white poppy seeds.

Although the annual production varies in Turkey, there is an average of 25 thousand tons of poppy seed production, and more than 70 thousand producers make a living from this product.

In the 2019/20 season, when Turkey was able to export poppy seeds to India, almost all of the 18 thousand tons of import permits granted to our country were used, and an export income of 63 million dollars was obtained. Turkey made 95 percent of its 66 million dollar white poppy export to India in the 2019/20 season. It was recorded as 82 million dollars.
