The Turkish participation's return to the exhibition after years of absence reflects an important indication of external openness and economic recovery in Syria.

Ghaffar Abazah from the Turkish company "Ozay Limited" spoke about a range of specialized fertilizers produced by the company in Antalya, including NPK fertilizers, micronutrients, amino acids, organic, and granular fertilizers.

He considered that expanding Turkish companies' participation in the Syrian market enhances the quality of agricultural products and opens the door to new partnerships.

The company's representative, Farid Hanoun, explained that the Syrian market represents a promising opportunity, especially given the importance of the veterinary sector in the national economy.

According to Gazie Atashi, the director of "Atasi Exhibition Organization," foreign participation in the exhibition reached 12% of the total companies, distributed among more than 12 Turkish companies and over 6 Arab companies specializing in agricultural and veterinary supplies, reflecting a growing interest in the Syrian market by foreign companies.
