After the onions, potatoes can be imported duty-free until April 20th
In Turkey, a government decree has established a duty-free import quota for 200,000 tonnes of potatoes.
The Turkish government authorizes an import quota of 200 000 tonnes of potatoes free of customs duties until 20 April.
This decision is similar to that made earlier this year, which suspended tariffs on onions until February 28th and then until March 31st. The country recorded an inflation on the price of onion, staple product of Turkish cuisine.
