A new sea‑based cold chain logistics corridor has been introduced to support the export of Turkish eggs to consumers and retail markets in the Middle East and the United States. The service is designed to strengthen perishable goods supply chains by combining refrigerated container transport, certified cold storage and continuous temperature monitoring to maintain freshness across long distances.
Initially, the corridor will move around 6.7 million eggs per month on a weekly basis, with plans to scale capacity up to about 450 million eggs annually as the route matures and demand grows. Cargo shipped through the corridor will travel in refrigerated containers via a global port and transshipment network, helping to connect producers with key markets such as Dubai, Kuwait, Bahrain and the U.S. retail sector.
Cold storage facilities along the route are internationally certified and integrated with real‑time temperature monitoring systems, giving shippers and buyers enhanced visibility into the condition of perishable cargo throughout the journey. This level of control is essential for delicate products such as eggs, which can spoil without strict temperature discipline.
Trade data show that Türkiye was the third‑largest exporter of eggs globally in 2024, with a significant portion of exports going to Middle Eastern markets. The corridor’s launch builds on this existing trade flow and aligns with broader efforts to expand global cold chain infrastructure and perishable‑goods connectivity.
