Turkey, Malaysia Sign Free Trade Deal
Turkey and Malaysia signed a bilateral
Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on April 17,
2014 in Ankara, Turkey. Turkey was
represented by Minister of Economy Nihat
ZEYBEKCI while Malaysia was
represented by International Trade and
Industry Datuk Seri Mustapa MOHAMED.
The signing of the FTA was witnessed by
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip ERDOGAN
and his Malaysian counterpart Datuk Seri
Najib Tun RAZAK. Mainly, the Turkey-
Malaysia FTA provides preferential market access for Turkish goods entering the
Malaysian market and vice-versa. It is agreed that the FTA will first focus on goods, and
subsequently cover investment and services. ZEYBEKCI said that as the FTA is realized
over a period of eight years, more products would benefit from reduced or eliminated
duties. Turkish exports to Malaysia that will benefit from immediate duty-free access include agricultural produce, fisheries, food products and mineral products.

Export Sectors Reports: Food Processing Machinery
A brief report about food processing machinery production
and trade in Turkey has been recently updated by Ministry
of Economy. According to the report, Turkey is the largest
producer and exporter of agricultural products in the Near
East and North Africa. Exports of agricultural commodities
and food products were valued at US$21,6 billion in 2013
and accounted about 14.2% of Turkey’s total export
earnings. This strong agricultural potential and Turkey’s
food industry, changing lifestyles and tastes due to
increased industrialization and urbanization, the increase in
family income, and the decrease in available time for
preparing meals have all resulted in a strong food
processing sector. Accordingly, a large food processing
sector has accelerated the development of the food
processing machinery and equipment industry in Turkey. For the full report, please click here.
