Turkey has imported over 1 million tons of iron ore from Ukraine between January and September 2024. This marks a significant increase compared to the same period last year. The Turkish Statistical Institute reports that this surge in imports is driven by the growing demand from Turkish steel producers.
Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the country has managed to maintain a steady supply of iron ore to Turkey. This increase in imports highlights the resilience of the Ukrainian mining sector and the strong trade relations between the two countries.
