TMEX EWR market marks sixth year with digital transformation

18 August 20252 min reading

Turkey’s Electronic Warehouse Receipt (EWR) Market, operated by the Turkish Mercantile Exchange (TMEX), has completed its sixth year. With a new trading system, AI-supported surveillance infrastructure, and internationally recognized certifications, the platform is driving a more transparent and secure agricultural market.

Launched on July 26, 2019, the EWR Market has reached a total trading volume of TRY 297 billion and 51 million tons in six years. Today, 250 licensed warehouses across 339 locations provide a storage capacity of 13.4 million tons. In addition to wheat, corn, barley, and sunflower seed, warehouse receipts have been issued for a total of 19 products, all of which are actively traded

In early 2025, TMEX introduced its domestic trading platform, the TMEX Trading System (TÜRİS), shifting to an intermediary model. With the integration of the Commodity Market Intermediary Institutions (CMII) system, the market aims to expand its investor base and improve liquidity. In addition, EWR data and price indicators have started to be published nationwide through data distribution companies.

Licensed warehousing capacity has grown more than threefold in six years, making it possible to safely store nearly one-third of Turkey’s annual grain harvest. TMEX has also strengthened its global standing by obtaining ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certifications, ensuring international standards in information security and service quality.

With the derivatives market and the tawarruq market planned to be launched in 2026, new EWR-based financial products will allow the agriculture and feed sectors to manage price risks.
