  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Turkey’s production of wheat is forecasted at 17.5 million metric tons (MMT), barley at 5.4 MMT, corn at 5.5 MMT and paddy rice at 731,000 metric tons (MT) for upcoming marketing year (MY) 2016/17. All these estimates are down compared to production in MY 2015/2016. Weather conditions for MY 2016/17 are still a big concern and have already negatively affected wheat and barley in Central Anatolia. Due to high returns expected, some corn producers are expected to plant cotton and oilseeds instead of corn in the upcoming season. According to new budget, the GOT plans to provide subsidy support of 11.6 billion of TL ($ 3.4 billion) to farmers.
