Turkey Restricts Exports of Olive Oil, Pulses

Turkey recently announced a three-month export ban on bulk olive oil shipments, including in barrels, due to shortages of olive oil products in the Mediterranean, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service said in a report last week. The restrictions apply until Nov. 1.

The country also applied export restrictions on lentil and chickpea exports, USDA said. Companies must apply and receive export registration permits before exporting certain amounts of the pulses through Jan. 1.
