Exports of tomato paste (HS codes 200290) from Turkey have varied dramatically in recent years, mainly due to the irregularity of annual processing results affected by climate problems, but also due to the purchasing dynamics of the two central regions customers of the Turkish industry, which are the Middle East and West EU. There was a decrease from more than 180,000 mT of finished products in 2013/2014 to less than 130,000 mT in 2018/2019. Boosted by the effects of the covid pandemic on global demand, in the last two years, Turkey's foreign activity has increased sharply to levels higher than those of the previous five or six years. In the 2019/2020 marketing year, almost 176,000 mT of finished products left Turkish factories for foreign destinations, a trend confirmed in the last marketing year, despite a slight slowdown also seen in the results of other major exporting countries, with absorbed quantities. Of almost 162,000 mT. In the Middle East, significant irregularities in pasta purchases from Iraq and sharp reductions in imports from Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Oman have strongly impacted Turkey's foreign trade in recent years. At the end of a series of significant consecutive annual variations (+11%, -14%, +33%, and -24%), Turkey exported 2020/2021 just over 109,000 mT of tomato paste (about 35,000 mT less than in 2019 /2020) in this region, which represents 77% of Turkish outlets in the last five years.

The foreign sales of Turkish pasta are mainly based on two product categories (codes 200290390000 and 200290310000), whose changes in destinations directly impact the results of 2020/2021: for example, the flow of trade to Italy emerged. Almost the same increase in exports in the category of pasta 12-30 Brix in packages of more than 1 kg (codes 200290310000), although a sharp decrease in purchases from Iraq directly affected the category of pasta 12-30 Brix in packages less than 1 kg (codes 200290310000). (See additional information at the end of the article.) Turkish pasta exports follow dynamic patterns during the first three months of the new market year (2021/2022). With more than 70,000 mT exported from 1 July to 30 September, the first quarter output was 66% higher than the average for the same periods of the previous three years (42,500 mT) and 114% higher than that of 2020/2021 (33,000 mT). ).

The export value of canned tomatoes in 2020/2021 was US$34 million, a 17% increase from the previous three-year average. This follows an acceleration of a dynamic pattern of significant progress in Turkey's export operations unrelated to the pandemic, especially in the UK, Italy, France, and recently Portugal, which increased intake from 15,000 mT of finished products in 2019/2020 to almost 20. 800 mT in 2020/2021 (see additional information at the end of the article).
