The NTM summaries of Turkey indicate that, in 2016, vegetable and animal product groups have
over 95% and 92% NTM coverage ratios, respectively. These correspond to NTM affected
product counts of 309 and 186 products, respectively.
Tables 4.11 and 4.12 collect the numbers of NTMs of Turkey’s top 5 import products from OIC
and top 5 export products to OIC as identified above. The overall stance of Turkey’s NTM
practices for its top 5 imports from the OIC does not exhibit major changes from 2010 to 2016.
Tables 4.13 and 4.14 collect more specific information about the number of different types of
NTMs imposed by Turkey on agricultural products and by how much trade is affected from the
imposition of these NTMs. Nearly 60% of animal products are subject to NTMs and this ratio is
around 88% in vegetables and close to 100% in hides and skins.
