rural areas. Agriculture’s place in the national income is
only at the 8 – 10 % percent level. In developed countries

% percent part works in agriculture. During the process of
The European Union membership, agriculture and
industry’s political policies need to be applied in harmony
and in Turkey agriculture’s problems can be solved with
only excessive accumulation and investment. The
disintegration seen in the agricultural sector, causes
unqualified labor force to head towards cities and especially

in 1995. The World Trade Organization (WTO) "Agriculture
Agreement" . This agreement is also important for Turkey,
agricultural policies and support for government intervention in
agricultural production are minimized as possible and has
adopted as a general trend of change in the release of the
orientation of the market mechanism. On the other hand the

production. This is the number of farms in three million to 12
million hectares of meadows and pasture at the same time
15 million cattle, 60 million small ruminants feeds. 92
percent of the producers are very small producers, they
have an average total of 65 acres of agricultural land in parts
2-6. Small businesses all over the classical method and yield
of 14 million hectares of land has low agricultural operations.
The number of medium-sized agricultural holdings is 680
thousand units, the sum of their average 500-100 acres of
agricultural land in parts 2-3 / acre varies. 2.1 million

hectares of land is on the efficient management of a farm.
U.S. and EU agricultural producers of the country, 2.5 times
the size of the land to produce agricultural products, animal
feeds, and Turkey to more than twice the presence of
animals.
12. Mainly exported to Turkish markets, the appropriate species /
breeds does not make production. Countries' agricultural export
markets, the basic measure of a leaderby producing more than 20
percent of the population need to export the product that they
caught the target.

one-fifth of the quantity and quality is protected.
2 percent of the cereal crop is exported to Turkey. Market instead
of being prescriptive, law-abiding country. Average of 50 countries
that export fruit and vegetables in 60 countries, the focal point of
the problem for Turkey, product quality and less quantity ratio.
Use of the soils in Turkey according to the intended use of the
territory of our country is divided as follows:
Cultivated land is planted area: 174,480,000 acres
Fallow land: 36,551,000 acres
Forestry: 192,376,000 acres
Bearing: 113,403,000 acres
Grassland: an unused area of 123,776,000 acres: 662,195,000
acres.

16. Turkey, its geographical location, climate, facilities,
mostly young, on the 70 million population,
increasing purchasing power and expanding
domestic market due to a very advantageous
position compared to many countries.
Local Benefits
- Geographically, the most suitable climate, a
country with enough natural resources.
- Increasing population and buying power with the
capacity to support the agricultural sector.
17. Foreign Market Advantage
- European countries are having problems of climate.
- Middle East and North Africa have climate and available water
problem.
- Russia and the Turkic Republics in agriculture due to climate
problems are just in need of foreign purchase.
- Increasing the purchasing power of oil every day throughout this
country have.
- Especially in the emerging manufacturing technologies and the
advantages of the climate of our country in many agricultural
products year-round to produce the specific standards and has the
potential to marketing these products.
Advantages of the product
- Overseas demand for economic production of many products that
can be done in our country.
- Turkey is located in the world in the production of agricultural
products grown a lot.
19. Agricultural exports surpassed U.S. $ 15 billion at
the end of 2010, but there is still a very big

22. In these circumstances and under cover of Dairy Cattle
farming practices that will gain importance in the
adaptation capability in the future. Both domestic
production and exports of both agricultural activity will be
a major force in increasing our share.
All of these applications and the development process
will be an important criterion business size. Because of
the high cost of these investments will bring. Capital
structure of the available capacity of non-small
businesses that are inevitable in the long term, non-
