Turkish marketThe GrowTech Eurasia is known to have two faces . On the one hand it is the yearly consequence for the Turkish horticultural food market . With local suppliers and breeders and an acreage of almost 80,000 hectares spread over the country , this low - tech market has seen some difficulties in the last twosome of years but has stabilised by now , although the climate for openhanded investments is still a fleck hesitant .

Only a modified per centum of this market , say only two per centime , is gamy - tech . In oecumenical , it can be visualise that the global trend of growers shifting from soil to hydroponic refinement is no different in Turkey . It help agriculturalist to improve their yield and their quality , and since Turkey is dealing with urbanization as well , more and more consumers buy their produce from the ledge of the supermarket , mean that they require a stable quality and a more durable ledge life - creating a shift in the market that before mostly sold its produce on local markets and in bazaars .

Growers from this low- and mid - tech market visit the GrowTech in high numbers and meet up with suppliers and breeders that either have a local initiative or do concern with local companies , a collaboration that ’s necessary for external company to gain achiever in the Turkish market , since its culture has proven to be one of a kind and also insecurity around payment conditions and the exchange charge per unit allow for hurdle for foreign country .

Since there ’s a lack of local suppliers and a knowledge gap , many labor are develop turn - keystone .

Collaborations from the showIn monastic order to serve these countries with complete nursery concepts , suppliers are collaborating .

Middle EastOther export markets of relevancy to external companies are the Middle East . Qatar , for example , but also the UAE and Saudi Arabia are of relevance since horticulture is rising fast in the Gulf region . Then there ’s North Africa : also Egypt has been named as land to look at .

Both worldsThe combination of the suppliers active for the local and the international market results in a show that on the one hand consists of breeders and local low - technical school suppliers and on the other hand shows gamey - tech light-emitting diode and climate solutions . In both way the show proves to fulfill a demand and especially since the external markets stabilise , the chance to do concern are again on the rise .
