7.1.3 Agriculture sector news
Turkey’s chemical fertiliser consumption is expected to fall to 5-5.5mn tonnes in 2022 from 6.4mn tonnes in 2021 and 7.1mn tonnes in 2020.
Some fertiliser producers ceased operations due to Turkey's export ban and low domestic demand.
As of April 25, Turkey was applying export bans to a total of 38 agricultural items.
Input prices in the fertiliser industry have increased by 700-800% while fertiliser prices have risen by 200-300%.
Spring's barley and wheat sowing in Turkey fell due to record input prices led by fertiliser prices.
