Turkey: Turkiye Establishes State Managed Feeder Cattle Import Quotas for 2026
On January 26, 2026, Türkiye's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry issued a circular establishing a state-managed quota for feeder cattle imports to address high inflation and meat prices. The Meat and Milk Board (ESK) is authorized to import 500,000 head in 2026, with permits for imported animals allocated by farm size. Based on recent import history, ESK is expected to purchase low-cost feeder cattle from South American suppliers.
