Turkey's Agricultural Economy in Brief

Abstract

This report describes recent trends in Turkish agriculture, trade, and economic planning. Cotton, tobacco, and filberts remain leading exports, while wheat needs--the prime food stable--are satisfied by domestic production and imports. The United States receives most of the Turkish tobacco exports while supplying most of Turkey's import requirements for wheat, fats and oils, and feed grains. The continuing modernization of farming technology, greater use of fertilizers, and the introduction of higher-yielding plant varieties have improved the agricultural picture. Though agriculture remains dominant in the Turkish economy, government efforts to step up industrial development through 5-year planning programs continues. The GNP growth target of 7 percent is being achieved.
