Turkey: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   TU2022-0019

With improved weather conditions, wheat, barley, and rice production are forecast to increase in MY 2022/23. In contrast, corn production is forecast down as farmers switch to other more profitable crops. Overall grain production in MY 2022/23 will be influenced by rising input costs, which the Turkish government is trying to offset with higher support payments for fertilizer and diesel. With the exception of barley, imports of other major grains are all forecast to increase in response to strong domestic and re-export demand. Amid rising food inflation, the government may take additional steps to restrict certain agricultural exports to stabilize the domestic market.
