THE Philippines is eyeing a preferential trade agreement (PTA) with Turkey and looking at products that can be sourced from that country, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) said.

At the sidelines of the First Philippine Garment, Leather Goods Industries, and Fabric Expo in Pasay City recently, Trade Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo said the Philippine-Turkey Joint Committee for Trade, Economic, and Technical Cooperation discussed such a deal in a meeting earlier this year.
