Seed Financing in Turkey
Turkey is both a major seed exporter and importer, with sophisticated greenhouse clusters in Antalya and Mersin. Financing combines TRY working-capital lines with EUR/USD supplier credit and LC-backed imports from Dutch, Israeli and Italian breeders.
Is a BUGEM registration required?
Commercial varieties must be listed with the Ministry (BUGEM) or under trial authorisation. We match buyers to varieties with existing or in-progress listing. Mersin, Izmir and Istanbul handle sea freight; Antalya and Istanbul airports handle air-freight samples.
