Turkey Agribusiness Market

Turkey Agribusiness Market Overview:

The Turkey agribusiness market size reached USD 29.83 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to reach USD 38.14 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.77% during 2025-2033. Beneficial weather conditions, featuring plenty of sunlight and balanced rainfall in various farming regions, lengthen growing periods and enable several harvests annually, enhancing yield and profitability. Besides this, increasing international demand for Turkish goods is boosting revenue for farmers, processors, and traders, thus contributing to the expansion of the Turkey agribusiness market share.

Turkey Agribusiness Market Trends:

Presence of fertile soil and favorable climatic conditions

The presence of fertile soil and favorable climatic conditions is a major driver of the market, enabling the country to cultivate a wide variety of crops, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and industrial plants, throughout the year. Turkey's agricultural production hit a historic peak, surpassing USD 70 Billion for the first time in 2024, as stated by Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli. Rich soil composition in regions, such as the Aegean, Marmara, and Mediterranean, provides high yields and supports the cultivation of high-value crops like olives, citrus fruits, nuts, and cotton. Favorable weather patterns, with ample sunshine and moderate rainfall in many agricultural zones, extend growing seasons and allow multiple harvests annually, boosting productivity and profitability. This natural advantage reduces dependence on imported raw agricultural materials and encourages domestic food production. The ability to cultivate diverse crops also supports the expansion of the food processing industry, adding value to agricultural output. Furthermore, the consistency in crop quality due to optimal growing conditions enhances Turkey’s competitiveness in international markets, attracting investments in farming, processing, and distribution. These conditions also make the country suitable for emerging sectors like organic farming and greenhouse cultivation.

Increasing export activities

Rising export activities are fueling the Turkey agribusiness market growth. According to the Turkish Exporters Association (TIM), the agricultural sector of Turkey achieved a historical annual export volume of USD 36.2 Billion in 2024. Turkey is a major exporter of products like fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, and processed food items to markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, benefiting from its strategic geographic location and well-developed transport networks. Increasing international demand for Turkish goods is boosting revenue for farmers, processors, and traders, while also incentivizing investments in modern farming techniques, storage facilities, and quality control systems to meet global standards. Export-oriented agriculture is promoting the cultivation of high-value crops and enhancing competitiveness in international markets. Additionally, trade agreements and favorable logistics routes, including proximity to major seaports, reduce costs and increase efficiency, making Turkish products more attractive abroad. The influx of foreign currency from exports is strengthening the agricultural sector’s financial stability, enabling reinvestment into technology, mechanization, and research. Overall, rising export activities are not only expanding market reach for Turkish agribusiness but also stimulating innovations, improving quality, and reinforcing Turkey’s position as a key global agricultural supplier.
