Turkey, as a regional hub for some multinational brands like Nestle, Coca Cola, PepsiCo Foods, Carrefour, benefits from favorable geographical and climatic conditions and is one of the leading agricultural countries in the world.

However, the food industry still faces major challenges:

• Dependence on food ingredients (99% are being imported) and
• the need for advanced processing equipment

Turkey’s food processing / machinary sector on the other hand is the most powerful in the region exporting more than 100 countries.

Emerging sectors include frozen and canned goods, vegetable oil, seafood and alcoholic beverages.
