Agricultural production will recover this year, says Minister
Agricultural production that declined last year due to frost and drought will recover this year, according to Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı.
“I can even say that we may break records in some products,” he said.
Yumaklı noted that, according to data from the past seven months, this has been the rainiest year in the last 66 years. He added that the average water level in dams has risen above 75 percent and emphasized that there will be no problems with irrigation this year.
Speaking at an event for the World Farmers’ Day on May 14, Yumaklı stressed that climate change and regional tensions directly affect production costs and supply chains, and said that the ministry plans all its steps with this awareness.
