A severe storm in Turkey’s Marmara region has paralyzed bay leaf exports, forcing cancellations of 20+ İDO/BUDO ferry routes linking critical ports like Bandırma and Yenikapı 15. This disruption threatens Turkey’s role as the global leader (supplying 90% of world demand), delaying shipments to key markets in Vietnam, Germany, and Poland 1. Bay leaves—vital for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and gourmet foods—face shipment bottlenecks, risking price surges. Exporters like AgroHoby are rerouting via land transport, though costs have spiked 25%. The crisis coincides with a heatwave forecasted from 18-22 August, which may further strain crop quality and logistics 8.
