# Turkey's 500,000 t Wheat Export Tender Pressures Black Sea Prices

> Turkey's Grain Board (TMO) has called two international tenders to sell 500,000 tonnes of wheat, 400,000 t milling wheat on 17 November and 100,000 t durum on 18 November. The sales follow a record 23 million-tonne harvest and TMO stocks above 10 million tonnes, marking Turkey's shift from importer to seller.

## Why it matters

New Turkish export supply adds competition to Black Sea and Mediterranean wheat offers, reinforcing soft global wheat prices. Buyers in North Africa and the Middle East gain an alternative origin, which pressures Black Sea exporters' pricing power.
