Turkish marketplace and outside opportunitiesThe Turkish market itself has had hard time . The Turkish horticultural industry is extensive and more and more investments are made in hydroponic growing . Yet , at the same fourth dimension , there is ongoing uncertainty for local cultivator . The Russian marketplace , for example , is an important exportation and at the same fourth dimension fluid market , as the rural area on a regular basis bans tomato import from Turkey .
With over 84 million inhabitants and over 70.000 hectare of greenhouse production , most growers focus on the growing local market . The growing middle - class has a high need for topically grown , tone glasshouse product . Usually , at least . Only last calendar week the exchange charge per unit of the Turkish Lira croak down the drainpipe : on what was called ' Black Tuesday ' , the value of the Italian lira against strange currency declined crisply by 20 % . Growers having to corrupt horticultural utilities or supplier having to buy good for production are struggle ; inflation has been going on for many years and the current interchange charge per unit is at an all - sentence low .
At the show , some suppliers even mentioned that , with the insecurity of the exchange rate , they simply could not offer agriculturist a price for their product , something also happening in other manufacture : Apple , for exercise suspended sales of their mathematical product last week . Their mathematical product sale sum up , but with a 25 % price growth to compensate for the price crash .
As many suppliers do business internationally , they were not present on the show with interest in the local market , but hoped to visit their international clients . Development of the horticultural diligence in CIS - countries has gone rapidly in the last pair of years , and , despite Covid and the react challenges , countries like Kazakhstan , Uzbekistan , and Tadjikistan attract the special interest of greenhouse suppliers . Despite the Turkmenistan delimitation still remaining entirely close , many other visitors made it to the show , which is loose for them to visit than Netherlands , Spain , or Italy .
Well - enough said and done . Next year , the Growtech will take position again in Antalya - but first , it is PICTURE TIME .
