Speaking at the 8th SteelOrbis Turkish Steel Market Conference held in Istanbul on November 29, Dr. Veysel Yayan, general secretary of the Turkish Iron and Steel Producers' Association (TCUD), said that Turkey's crude steel production for the current year is expected to reach 35.2 million metric tons, with a year-on-year drop of 1.9 percent due to the strike at Isdemir in late July, which caused a drop of 700,000 metric tons in crude steel output. Dr. Yayan told attendees that in 2014 Turkish crude steel production is foreseen to exceed 36 million metric tons.
