Turkey’s president and prime minister have identified agriculture a strategic sector and, together with policymakers at the Ministry of Agriculture, the government is targeting a 30% rise in agriculture products in the next 10 years. If Turkey becomes a top-five producer, it will rank after China, India, United States and Brazil and be regarded as one of the world’s elite ag powerhouses.
“This isn’t a 10-year plan, it is a 100-year plan,” Deputy Director General Dr. Nevzat Birisik told FCI at his office in the gleaming new Ministry of Agriculture building in Ankara in July. He wasn’t being sardonic. He, like many in government, is gearing up for the country’s 100th anniversary in 2023, and agriculture has been pivotal in the success and development of the country’s society and economy. Turkey has been self-sufficient in food production since the 1980s, and its widespread agriculture sector employs more than 25% of the country.
A 30% rise in agricultural output would boost production value to about $100 million, which would place Turkey at No. 6 just behind Indonesia. But Turkey’s additional output will come from higher-value goods than Indonesia’s palm oil, the country’s main cash crop. Turkey is the world’s top producer of hazelnuts, cherries, figs, apricots, quinces and pomegranates. It is the second-largest producer of watermelons, cucumbers, chestnuts and chickpeas.
作物保护处于这一扩张的前线，并有望成倍受益。
由于农艺多样性和相应的害虫压力，农药是土耳其最重要的投入。该国有 9 个农业区，种植从香蕉到冬小麦的各种作物，还有 553 种害虫需要控制。
The first key takeaway is that crop inputs are poised to explode in Turkey. The country’s expanding prescription system combined with government subsidies means that farm incomes are climbing and farmers will have better access to farm production technologies. Win, win.
The second lesson is that an agricultural system as rich as Turkey’s requires a long-term plan to grow and to capitalize on. Agriculture has always been a pillar industry in Turkey, and governments through the years have been proud of the country’s rich agriculture tradition and productivity.
跨国公司在土耳其实力雄厚。许多新产品在销往世界其他地区之前很久就在那里进行了测试，并且建立了牢固的关系
整个价值链帮助他们控制了 85% 的市场，最近在 2000 年。但从那以后，专利后产品和公司一直在增长势头，现在控制了大约 50% 的市场。
土耳其将在未来几年内制定政策，在其种植区域迎来投入热潮。但这将需要您自己的 10 年计划来利用增长。长期增长计划不仅仅是研发部门和跨国公司的机制。它们必须是评估关系、产品管道和市场动态的战略销售和营销计划，使公司能够对机会做出反应。
政策正在发生变化，以帮助种植者更大程度地利用作物保护技术，在 12 月 12 日于伊斯坦布尔举行的黑海地区 FCI 贸易峰会之前，我们渴望讨论未来几周和几个月内可用的所有机会-13。
在接下来的几个月里，我们将详细报道黑海地区，并期待 12 月在伊斯坦布尔与您相见，这样我们就可以继续共同努力，制定改善作物保护行业的长期战略。
