Turkey to export wheat after Mexican seed success
Turkey shifts from wheat importer since 1953 to exporter next year aided by a Mexican seed program funded by USAID. Record yields on 168,750 hectares along the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts surpassed native Turkish wheats, lifting total gains to 337,500 tons with optimistic targets up to 500,000 tons. An American extension team aided 40,000 farmers amid weather and flood challenges, while Turkish officials praise the project’s potential and seek new markets.
