Turkey Strengthens Phytosanitary Control Over Ukrainian Wheat Starting August 4, 2026

Starting August 4, 2026, Turkey will implement enhanced phytosanitary controls on the import of Ukrainian wheat due to updated plant quarantine regulations. The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has notified the Ukrainian service about new requirements concerning the import, export, re-export, and transit of plants and plant products. The changes are based on a new plant quarantine regulation published on May 6, 2026, which repeals the previous provision from 2011. This means stricter phytosanitary requirements for Ukrainian wheat exporters. The State Consumer Service noted that wheat can be a host plant for harmful organisms, necessitating more thorough inspections. Exporters should take the new requirements into account when preparing shipments and accompanying documents. Additionally, on July 14, 2026, a law ratifying the Free Trade Agreement between Ukraine and Turkey was adopted.
