Turkey asked Qatar, which has been under a blockade by Arab countries since June, to join hands for sustainable food production, the Turkish economy minister said. Nihat Zeybekci, proposed that Turkey, instead of sending finished goods to Qatar, could send raw materials, which Qatar could process at its own plants. “Production could start in Turkey but continue there in Qatar,” he said, speaking at a Turkey-Qatar business forum in western Turkish province of Izmir. Turkey has sent a total of 221 cargo-planes of daily use items to Qatar after the blockade, the minister said.
