Changes in the Cost Parameters of Production of the Main Categories of Agricultural Products in Turkey

In this scientific work, the authors, based on data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, analyzed changes in the 2011-2022 cost parameters of production (in current prices in US dollars) of the main categories of agricultural products in Turkey. In the process of research, we identified the most significant factors determining the location of specific areas of crop and livestock production in certain countries and regions of the world, including in the designated Middle Eastern country. The authors identified the thirty main types of agricultural products in Turkey (excluding meat of various categories of livestock and poultry) in value terms. In 2022, the top ten of our ranking included raw cattle milk - 10.63% of agricultural products in general, wheat - 8.80%, tomatoes - 6.35%, barley - 3.41%, corn - 3.16%, olives - 2.96%, grapes - 2.83%, sunflower seeds - 2.61%, inshell hazelnuts - 2.40%, apples - 2.30%. For each of the thirty designated categories, the authors determined absolute and relative changes in their production relative to the level achieved in 2011. During the research, we characterized the corresponding trends.
