TMO to ensure grain market stability in 2025

21 January 20252 min reading

TMO’s significant grain reserves and regulatory measures are set to ensure market stability and a steady supply through the 2025 harvest. The board’s efforts aim to prevent price volatility, providing predictability for producers.

The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) is taking significant steps to stabilize the grain market, ensuring sufficient stockpiles of wheat, barley, and other grains through the 2025 harvest season. Ahmet Güldal, TMO’s General Manager, emphasized that the board’s robust reserves, bolstered by record purchases in 2023, alongside its regulatory powers, are crucial in preventing speculative price fluctuations, particularly in grain markets that directly impact production costs.

“TMO, using its strong stocks and market regulation powers, will take all necessary measures to keep market prices at acceptable levels,” Güldal stated. The board’s careful stock management aims to meet the demands of the agriculture and feed industries alike, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of key ingredients for animal feed.

In 2023, TMO set a purchasing record, acquiring 5 million tons of wheat and barley—well above the long-term average. This purchase, alongside other strategic acquisitions, has resulted in the board’s highest-ever grain reserves. Despite challenges such as reduced rainfall and a 5% drop in grain production in 2024, TMO has secured a substantial volume of grains, including wheat and barley, to buffer against any supply shortfalls.
