According to Sözcü Gazetesi's report, Turkey's farming community is struggling under a heavy debt load. Agricultural credit, input costs, and market dynamics have negatively affected farmers' economic situation.
Discussions on solutions to the sector's problems and state support continue. Farming organizations are calling for emergency measures to be taken amid the crisis.
Farmers in Turkey are being pulled into a debt spiral due to high interest rates, rising input costs and low product prices. Farmer organizations are demanding that the government take urgent measures such as debt restructuring, interest subsidies and price guarantees.
The increase in food prices stems from the debt crisis among farmers—if this issue is not resolved, food inflation in the autumn could intensify further. If the agricultural sector is not supported, layoffs could occur among agricultural workers and businesses dependent on the rural economy.
