Favourable ecological conditions, climate and water resources make Turkey one of the world’s strongest agricultural players. Consequently, Turkey enjoys a leading role in almost all major agricultural product sub-sectors.

- World’s 8th largest agricultural economy

- Nearly 1/3rd of the country’s total area consists of arable land.

- Ranks among world’s first 5 in the production of over 20 crops; and exports more than 1,530 different agricultural produce to 177 countries, are all evidence to its eminence as a global player.

- Turkey's agricultural production is equivalent to 40% and 20% of EU-25 production of fruits and vegetables respectively.

- Turkey is the largest producer and exporter of agricultural products in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Total market size (of agriculture) is estimated to be more than US$30 billion.

- Turkey’s agricultural imports from the EU has increased by 25%, which shows that despite being an exporter country, Turkey is an important export market for EU countries.

- Agriculture and livestock sector has been Turkey's largest employer (currently 30 % of the country’s workforce) and a major contributor to the country's GDP, exports and industrial growth.

- The South Eastern Anatolia Project (GAP) is Turkey’s largest regional development scheme seeking to make the region a major world exporter of agricultural products with close proximity to Middle East markets worth an estimated US$200 billion. It already hosts 50 % of Turkey’s cotton production.
