Agriculture & Agrifood

Türkiye has long been one of the world’s key agricultural producers thanks to its fertile lands, favorable climate, and strategic geographic position. The country ranks among the top producers of fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and olive oil, and is a global exporter of processed agricultural goods.

Production Strength

Türkiye is among the world’s top 10 producers of agricultural products, with over 23 million hectares of cultivated land and strong performance in hazelnuts, cherries, apricots, figs, and sunflower oil. It is also a leading exporter of dried fruits, pulses, and processed food products.

Agri-Food Industry

A large domestic consumer base and growing demand for quality food make Türkiye’s food processing industry highly attractive. The sector includes meat and dairy products, canned foods, bakery, confectionery, and beverages. EU-aligned food safety and traceability regulations strengthen Türkiye’s global competitiveness.

Sustainable Agriculture & Innovation

Government policies now emphasize precision agriculture, water efficiency, and climate-smart practices. Investment incentives target projects in greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, and agritech solutions including drones, sensors, and AI-powered farm management.

Organic & Niche Products

Türkiye’s rich biodiversity and traditional farming culture create opportunities for organic farming, geographic indication products, and halal-certified food exports. Key markets include the EU, Gulf countries, and Asia.

Türkiye offers strong potential for agrifood investment across the value chain—from farm to fork.
