Wholesalers, retail traders and importers from across the EU, Balkans and Turkic nations will attend a Turkish kitchenware exhibition between Nov.20-23.

The Producer-Brand Summit is expected to generate a trading volume of $500 million, according to a press release.

The 7th edition of the summit in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya will be organized by the Turkish Houseware Association (Zucder).

The kitchenware sector, which closed last year with $4.5 billion exports and a $3.6 billion foreign trade surplus, targets to reach $5.5 billion as of the end of 2019.

Mesut Oksuz, the head of Zucder, said the summit, which hosted visitors from 10 countries last year, will be joined by business people from 40 countries this year.

Turkish companies and foreign buyers will make B2B meetings during the summit, he noted.
