Turkiye's ferrous scrap imports rise 10.3% MoM in September

Turkiye's imports of ferrous scrap in September increased by 10.3% from the previous month to reach 1.6 million tonnes, though the volume was still 8.8% lower compared with the same month last year, according to the latest data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK).

Over January-September, the country's ferrous scrap imports amounted to 14.3 million tonnes, up 2.4% on year, the TUIK data showed. The significant on-month gain in September was mainly driven by stronger shipments from Europe. For example, Turkiye's imports from the Netherlands more than doubled on month, surging 109.3% to 182,732
