The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry made support payments totalling 35.6 billion lira to farmers in the first three months of 2026. The supports are provided primarily for seeds, fertilisers and agricultural inputs with the aim of alleviating producers' costs.
These support packages represent a significant move large enough to affect food prices—as farmers' production costs decline, prices on supermarket shelves could also fall. If employment opportunities in agriculture and domestic production capacity are preserved, dependence on food imports will decrease and an improvement in the trade balance is expected.
