Read the figures correctly

Figures are for the whole of HS chapter 07 (edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers); pulses is only part of it. Source: UN Comtrade, as reported by national authorities; latest available year per market.

The cut-off between top twenty and the rest

Indonesia is ranked just above at $1.1B, and Pakistan just below at $1.1B. Turkey’s 1.2% share of reported world imports is virtually the same as both. Being twentieth here means Turkey barely makes the group, and a small revision could move it out.

The safer statement is that Turkey belongs to a band of roughly one-billion-dollar importers, not that it holds any exact place.

Energy and machinery frame the import bill

Total imports are $344.0B, of which this chapter is 0.3%. It ranks 39th among Turkey’s import chapters. Mineral fuels lead at $65.6B, followed by industrial machinery at $39.6B and vehicles at $31.7B.

China, the Russian Federation, Germany and Italy are the biggest overall sources. This broad list does not identify where legumes originate, but it shows a country with import links to both Europe and its eastern neighbours.

Diligence ahead of a first offer

Ask the buyer how it sells, and what grade and packaging its customers expect. Confirm the current import, plant-health and food-safety conditions with the competent authorities and do not rely on older guidance.

Write the Incoterm, currency, payment method and discharge port into the first quotation.
