Turkey extends ag deals with African countries
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Turkey's Food, Agriculture and Livestock Minister Faruk Celik recalled Turkey's ongoing efforts to develop agricultural cooperation with the continent since 2005.
As a result of these efforts, Turkey's trade with Africa increased from $5 billion to $18 billion, Celik said.
"In terms of agriculture, our trade has increased from $418 million up to $2.5 billion. We know that these figures are not sufficient. We are all aware of this. The aim of all these meetings is to raise our trade volume, especially in the area of agriculture and to further develop our relationships in every field," the minister added.
