Aegean exporters to conquer Iran

In this context, the Union of Aegans Exporters multiply meetings in order to provide a maximum information to its members on the risks and opportunities of this market, because the difficulties in traditional markets push Turkish exporters to embark on other markets.

The proximity of the Iranian market, with a common border, is a great advantage. With its 82 million inhabitants and a $ 500 billion economy, the Iranian population "thirst" consumption, with an embargo that lasted several years. But Turkish exporters are aware that Iran was not part of the World Trade Organization, they risk finding themselves face to face with problems like fluctuating regulations, protective measures, the risk of internal policy.

Turkey's exports to Iran in 2014 were around 4 billion. A hundred Turkish companies have already made investments in this country but there is still place due to Iraq, with a population half the size, and Turkish imported goods worth $ 10 billion.

China and Germany are two competitors already in place, but Turkey has logistic advantages despite the problems encountered.
