The fact that Turkey is one of the hubs of the grain processing tech- nologies industry and close to the Middle East and African countries, where an increase in flour demand is expected makes the IDMA Exhibition even more strategic. IDMA Exhibition, which will be held at Istanbul Expo Center in Yeşilköy on March 10-12, 2022 by Parantez Inter- national Fair and Netherlands-based Victam International B.V., which are known for their internationally roaring fairs for the grain and feed milling industries, is welcomed with heavy demand.

Especially in Libya, the interim government's in- terest in Turkish investors reflects positively on the trade between the two countries. There are urgent needs in Lib- ya that have deferred and accumulated due to the internal turmoil of the last decade. One of the areas that can be invested in the restructuring country is food. Libya, which the Turkish business world attaches great importance to, has started to stand out in Turkish export figures. In the first 9 months of this year, exports to Libya increased by 60% compared to the same period of 2020 and approached 2 billion dollars.

For this reason, for Turkey, Libya is a gateway to Africa. This country holds a key position in Turkey-Africa relations. With investment opportunities in every field, Libya is a mar- ket that should never be neglected. The IDMA promotion team, which carries out significant works for particularly Libya in Africa, aims to attract keen participation from this market.

Özellikle Libya’da geçici hükümetin Türk yatırımcıla- ra olan ilgisi iki ülke arasındaki ticarete olumlu yan- sıyor.
