Türkiye’s crop production forecast to rise in 2026
Türkiye’s crop production is expected to increase significantly in 2026 compared with the previous year, according to estimates released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK).
The outlook follows comments by Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı last week, who said agricultural production affected by frost and drought in 2025 is expected to recover this year.
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.
According to TÜİK’s first estimate for 2026, production of cereals and other field crops, excluding fodder crops, is forecast to rise by 12.6 percent. Production of fruits, beverages and spice crops is expected to increase by 57.8 percent year-on-year.
