Market Growth Factors
The Turkey shrimp market is being driven by the expansion of aquaculture, rising seafood consumption, and growing interest in shrimp as a versatile protein source. Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coastal areas provide favorable conditions for aquaculture, while improvements in farming systems, feed formulations, and production technology are supporting more efficient shrimp cultivation.
Government policies are also strengthening Turkey’s broader aquaculture ecosystem. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has implemented production planning for aquaculture and fishing, with more than 80% of aquatic production brought under planned production coverage through a system covering 16 species. The approach focuses on sustainability, resource management, and more efficient production.
Turkey’s wider aquaculture industry provides a strong foundation for shrimp market development. The country’s total aquaculture production reached 626,591 tons, accounting for more than 60% of overall aquatic production, demonstrating the growing importance of farmed seafood within the national sector.
Domestic demand is increasing as shrimp becomes more prominent in restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and international-style cuisine. Shrimp is also viewed as a protein-rich and versatile seafood option, supporting consumption across foodservice and retail channels.
Turkey’s strategic geographic position provides access to major European and regional seafood markets. Improvements in cold-chain logistics, processing capabilities, and distribution networks can further support the availability of fresh and frozen shrimp across retail and foodservice channels.
