Türkiye’s anchovy exports rose 20% year on year in value terms to $13,621,885 during the January-September period.
According to data from the Eastern Black Sea Exporters’ Association, anchovy exports totaled $11,313,687 in the first nine months of last year and increased by $2,308,198 during the same period this year. Export volume rose 80%, from 2,259 tons to 4,062 tons.
Belgium, France and Ukraine show strongest demand
Belgium, France and Ukraine recorded the strongest demand for anchovies during the January-September period. Türkiye exported anchovies worth $3,898,479 to Belgium, $3,404,163 to France and $2,027,892 to Ukraine.
Unlike during the same period last year, Türkiye also sold anchovies to Australia, Portugal, Qatar and Iraq. As a result, the range of export destinations expanded, with anchovies, including processed products, exported to 22 countries in the first nine months of the year.
Sector expects new markets
Hasan Kuzuoğlu, head of the Eastern Black Sea Exporters’ Association’s Fisheries Sector Committee, said they expect the upward trend in anchovy exports to continue during the remainder of the year.
Kuzuoğlu said the increase in volume was particularly encouraging for the sector, noting that anchovy exports had risen year on year in both volume and value. He said they expect demand in existing markets to continue in the final quarter of the year and new markets to contribute to exports.
Kuzuoğlu highlighted the importance of demand for anchovies from different regions in addition to European countries, noting that the diversity of export destinations increases every year.
Processed product exports remain a priority
Kuzuoğlu said efforts to find new markets were continuing to increase anchovy exports. He said promoting the product, expanding market diversity and developing exports of higher-value processed products were among the priorities.
Kuzuoğlu said the results of promotional and trade outreach efforts aimed at securing a larger presence in different national markets were expected in the coming period, emphasizing that anchovies hold an important place in Türkiye’s seafood exports.
The sector’s goal is to increase its share in existing markets while establishing regular anchovy exports to new countries.
