Support to the Agricultural Sector, Success to Export

The share of agricultural exports in Turkey’s total exports in April was 11.8 percent. It is also hoped that with this share, new strategies in the agricultural sector will maintain the stability of success. New regulations that delight manufacturers and suppliers are on the agenda. Recently, the government has stated that it could support the payment of items such as diesel and fertilizer in production. In addition to some support, there is also the provision of fertilizer to the farmer. There is also the possibility for farmers to make due payments following the harvest season.
