"We urge domestic producers to use the Turkish side's decision to prolong the duty-free quota until December 31, 2019, for supplies by third countries of live animals and meat onto the Turkish Republic's market," Sybiha wrote on Twitter on January 11.
According to the document posted by the ambassador, 500,000 head of cattle, 475,000 head of sheep and goats, 75,000 tonnes of fresh and chilled beef meat, as well as 20,000 tonnes of [beef] compensated quarters could be supplied within the quotas at a zero tariff rate.
