About Wheat Market Products in Turkey

Turkey has always sought to achieve its self-sufficiency in wheat cultivation, and until recently Turkey produced nearly 80% of its need for wheat crops.

After most importing countries around the world raised the white flag and announced that their strategic stockpiles were running out for eight weeks or more, Turkey declared full self-sufficiency.

In this article, we discuss the most important information about the cultivation, import and export of wheat from Turkey, and much other information that shows the contours of the market and this important trade.

Does Turkey Have Self-Sufficiency in Wheat Products?

Turkey's Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Vahit Kirisci said in a statement by the ministry in early June 2022 that Turkey's wheat production forecast for the coming season is about 19.5 million tons.

According to the ministry's statement, quoting research institutions: Wheat production this year is expected to reach about 20 million tons. He said that Turkey will not see any shortage of wheat stocks because production is sufficient for domestic consumption of flour, pasta and bulgur.

It would be useful to note that Turkey consumes the same figure annually as its production, which means that it is self-sufficient in local wheat products.

Is Turkey Exporting Wheat Products?

The trade of wheat between Turkey and the world is continuous, always ranging from import and export, where Turkey imports annually quantities of international wheat to benefit from the added values of its production in its final form before exporting it again, after processing wheat and manufacturing flour or pasta and other products, where Turkey has reached the advanced ranks globally in this sector.

Turkey has imported $15 billion worth of wheat in the last decade, while its exports amount to more than $25 billion.

Production due to government support and the development of agriculture has reached more than 500,000 tons, and production is witnessing a large demand from farmers to stay away from imported or genetically improved seeds.

Turkey relies on the Russian market, importing more than half of its manufacturing needs, to continue exporting wheat industries to some 150 countries around the world, says Mehmet Kamil Demirel, director of the Istanbul Studies Centre.

Can Turkey Contribute to Solving the Global Wheat Crisis?

Turkey has received the global wheat export crisis with proactive measures it worked on many years ago to raise its production capacity to higher limits, ensuring full independence and sovereignty in the face of expected crises.

In the same vein, the recorded figures for Turkish exports of wheat products are evidence of their important ability to play a positive role in the face of the global wheat crisis in a significant way.
