Turkey: Grain and Feed Update

Turkey's Marketing Year (MY) 2021/22 wheat production estimate is lowered slightly to 16.25 million metric tons (MMT), while barley production is further lowered to 4.5 MMT. Severe drought across large portions of Anatolia account for the lowered production. Turkey's MY 2021/22 corn planting area is expected to be approximately 540,000 hectares with production totaling 6.5 MMT. The MY 2021/22 paddy rice planting area is estimated at 97,000 ha, producing 807,000 MT. Turkey is currently struggling with high food inflation. In an attempt to lower food shelf prices, the Government of Turkey has intervened in many aspects of the market to try to lessen domestic food inflation. State-affiliated bodies are now involved in almost all stages of the value chain in the food and agricultural sectors in recent years.
