Very dry weather in Turkey caused concern after wheat planting was finished, however rain and snow began in the first week of December 2016 throughout Turkey. The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) procured nearly 4.5 MMT of grain in MY 2016/17. Concerns on devaluation of the Turkish Lira will likely impact import decisions. Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MinFAL) has revised the basin lists for their national agriculture support program and added corn to some regions, but to save water will encourage drip irrigation systems, and will encourage certified seed usage. With the revised basin list, likely corn production will not decrease as dramatically as originally thought.
