The seed market in Turkey has witnessed significant growth since 2006 after the implementation of the new seed law.

Turkey is a major exporter of hybrid corn and sunflower seeds to Europe, Russia and Ukraine. In terms of revenue Turkey is a net importer of seeds. The Turkish government allows imports of only vegetable, forage, grass, sweet corn and popcorn seeds in the country. The use of genetically modified crops is restricted in Turkey.

These local companies are also focusing on breeding seeds that are specifically suited for agricultural conditions in Turkey.
