With the production of food and raw materials, agriculture forms the basis of today's human existence. This would be unthinkable without primary agricultural production. Agriculture also contributes to the preservation of the cultural landscape.
In Turkey, large-scale agriculture with efficient farms has developed over the past centuries. The agriculturally used area of around 1.34 million hectares is cultivated by around 4,700 businesses with over 25,000 employees. High yields in crop production and excellent performance in animal husbandry reflect the quality of the management and the skilled workers in the companies, supported by the good training opportunities, by the local agricultural research, and the know-how of the agricultural consultancy.
Agriculture in Turkey is multifunctional. The focus is clearly on plant cultivation and the production of grain and oil fruits, which take up over 75% of the cultivated area. In addition, maize, potatoes, sugar beets, and forage crops are grown.
The refinement of agricultural products as a contribution to increasing gross value added requires further development for the nationwide lowest animal stock of only 0.4 livestock units per hectare.
Increase in Demand for Organic Farming
Organic farming takes place in 9.2% of the agricultural area. This makes our state the front runner. The fruit and vegetable production on more than 4,000 hectares is a thoroughly successful, dynamic and labor-intensive branch with a high productivity per area.
The area of renewable raw materials and renewable energies/bioenergy is growing. Over 100,000 hectares are used for the cultivation of renewable raw materials, the construction and operation of biogas plants is another mainstay for agricultural companies.
AIM Farmlands promotes agricultural development with the aim of establishing market-oriented, competitive and sustainable agricultural companies.
Agriculture and forestry make an important contribution to our society. They produce sustainably healthy food, they maintain our cultural landscape, and in many cases they also make a contribution to the preservation of species diversity and biodiversity. Unfortunately, these social services are not sufficiently rewarded by the market. So that our family farms can still assert themselves on the market, we at AIM Farmlands support them with our advanced programs. Our team of professionals provides you the best opportunities regarding farmlands for sale in Turkey at affordable rates.
