Turkey is one of the world's top sunflower oil producing and exporting countries, ranking consistently among the top five global exporters. The Thrace region — specifically the provinces of Edirne, Tekirdağ, Kırklareli, and parts of Istanbul province — is the heartland of Turkish sunflower cultivation and processing. Major Turkish sunflower oil producers include Türkşeker, Kırklareli-based cooperatives, and privately-owned refineries processing both domestic and Black Sea imported sunflower seed. Turkish sunflower oil is exported across a broad geographic range: the EU (Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland); Middle East and GCC (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt); North Africa (Libya, Algeria, Tunisia); Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan); and West Africa. Turkey's geographic position — at the junction of Europe and Asia, with Black Sea, Aegean, and Mediterranean coast access — gives Turkish refiners logistical advantages in both sourcing (from Ukraine/Russia via the Black Sea or Türk Akımı pipeline alternative) and distribution. Turkey is also a significant producer of hazelnut oil (a by-product of its world-leading hazelnut industry in the Black Sea region around Trabzon and Giresun) and corn oil.
