Although many analysts see an energy partnership between Israel and Türkiye as key, some say ties can flourish further with cooperation in a host of other areas such as agricultural technology.Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

Amid normalization efforts between Ankara and Tel Aviv since last year, the two recently decided to fully restore diplomatic ties, and reappoint ambassadors after over four years, a move seen as lending new momentum to their long-strained ties.Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

Along with these developments, the Türkiye-Israel Joint Economic Commission is also set to meet in early September, and Israel also announced in July that it had decided to reopen its economy and trade office in Türkiye, which it had closed during deteriorating political relations.

"I did not like the fact that all kinds of diplomatic relations were on hold from both sides during the last 10 years or even more. However, on the economic and business level, we always had very good relations with Türkiye and it only keeps growing year after year," Gad Shoshan, chairperson of the Israel-Türkiye Business Council, told Anadolu Agency (AA).Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

Despite the ups and downs of diplomatic relations in the last 10 years, the countries have managed to maintain trade relations at a relatively stable level.

 

Backed by the steel industry, Türkiye's exports to Israel hit an all-time high in the first quarter of this year, soaring 37.2% year-over-year to $1.8 billion, according to Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TIM) data.Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

Official figures also showed that Türkiye's exports to Israel last year rose more than 35% to $6.4 billion, an all-time high, while imports rose nearly 37% to $2.1 billion.

"I think that the trade level is going far beyond what the normal person in the street understands and knows. It's not only tourism from Israel to Türkiye or dry fruits from Türkiye to Israel, not at all, there's much more," he underlined.Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

Israel is Türkiye's ninth-biggest export market, with both sides hoping to see trade volume this year reach $10 billion (TL 182.01 billion).

According to Shoshan, major things should happen at the upcoming economic meeting to reestablish and reinstitute trade deals between the two.Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery

"We have to review and update the free zones treaty, customs treaty, transportation and tourism treaty. I also want to see a lot of Turkish people coming to visit Israel. So they both also have to discuss the issues of visas and how to do it."Agricultural machine,gearbox,agricultural gearbox,agricultural reducer,Lithium battery
