Türkiye expands e‑export target countries to 35
Türkiye has increased the number of target countries for e‑exports from 18 to 35 in response to recent developments in global trade, a Trade Ministry official has said.
Hasan Önal, the head of the Department of E‑Export Digital Marketing, Behavioral Public Policies and Next‑Generation Technologies, noted that the department was established in 2022 and that export support mechanisms were introduced in 2023.
“At that time, e‑export volume stood at $2 billion. We have raised this to $6.4 billion,” Önal said.
He added that under the “distant countries strategy” for e‑exports, 18 countries were initially designated as target markets, but this number has now been expanded to 35 due to shifts in global trade and the removal of customs exemptions in some countries.
