Sea snail export surpassed anchovies

In the last 2 years, Turkey achieved a foreign exchange income of $41,417,221 from sea snail exports, while during the same period, anchovy exports from Turkey amounted to $24,882,508. Sea snail exports nearly doubled anchovy exports, and it was noted that the export has been increasing each year.

In 2023, Turkey obtained a foreign exchange income of $22,637,304 from sea snail exports, equivalent to 2,050,343 kilograms. The top three countries in exports were the Republic of Korea with $11,491,392 from 916,200 kilograms, the People's Republic of China with $3,884,944 from 330,100 kilograms, and Spain with $3,007,291 from 398,027 kilograms.

Following them were Japan with $2,201,904 from 210,064 kilograms, Taiwan with $2,003,587 from 182,860 kilograms, Ukraine with $29,530 from 10,010 kilograms, Georgia with $9,072 from 775 kilograms, Romania with $4,756 from 1,160 kilograms, Azerbaijan-Nakhchivan with $2,650 from 216 kilograms, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) with $2,179 from 432 kilograms. The total sea snail exports of 2,050,343 kilograms brought in a foreign exchange income of $22,637,304.

In 2022, sea snail exports to 7 countries resulted in a foreign exchange income of $18,779,917 from 2,176,240 kilograms, while in 2021, this figure was $14,707,305.

For anchovy exports to 26 countries in 2023, a foreign exchange income of $13,745,045 was achieved from 3,054,263 kilograms. In 2022, this amounted to $11,137,463 from 2,102,628 kilograms. The top three countries for anchovy exports in 2023 were France with $4,831,138, Belgium with $4,086,121, and Germany with $1,349,308.

Ahmet Hamdi Gürdoğan, a member of the Board of Directors of the Turkey Exporters Assembly and Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Eastern Black Sea Exporters' Association (DKİB), mentioned that they are exploring new markets for snail exports. He stated, "Last year, an export of around 2 million kilograms resulted in an income of around $22.5 million. Looking at the top positions, exports are primarily to South Korea and the People's Republic of China, as well as European countries. In 2022, exports to 7 countries amounted to around $18 million. We see that snail exports have increased compared to previous years and have recently exceeded 22 million. Especially, we observe that the increase in exports from our region has reached 28%, indicating an overall increase in exports from the Eastern Black Sea Region in Turkey. We believe that these numbers will continue to increase every day, but while doing this, we must spread our existing resources over a long period by considering the ecosystem and conducting sustainable fishing."
