Situated at the crossroads of Southeastern Europe and Southwestern Asia, Türkiye borders the Black Sea, the Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. This strategic location has historically made Türkiye a vital bridge for trade between diverse regions and cultures. Additionally, it held a treaty obligation to regulate warship passage into the Black Sea during the Ukraine conflict.
So, what is the current state of Türkiye's tissue market? What opportunities exist, and how does it compare to other countries?

Because of this, Türkiye's tissue exports have been on a consistent upward trend, with the UK being its biggest consumer.
