TURKSTAT published the plant product balance sheets for the 2021-2022 marketing year. The sufficiency degree of total wheat, the grain with the largest share in the country's production, was 87.3 percent and of barley was announced as 66.8%.

Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) has announced the balance sheets of plant products for the 2021-2022 marketing year. According to TURKSTAT data, the degree of meeting domestic demand (sufficiency degree) of domestic production for the total grain products in the 2021-2022 marketing period was 80.3 percent.

The sufficiency degree, when less than 100, indicates that the production cannot fully meet the domestic demand. A value greater than 100 indicates the existence of exportable and/or stockable quantities after fulfilling the domestic need.

The sufficiency degree is recorded as 87.3 percent in wheat, which has the largest share in total grain production, 151.8 percent in durum wheat, 79.9 percent in bread wheat, 66.8 percent in barley, the most important input of the feed industry, 76,6 percent in corn, and 6 percent in soy.

The decrease in bread wheat is remarkable in TURKSTAT data. Turkey's bread wheat sufficiency degree, which was at the level of 89.2 percent in the 2020-2021 marketing year, decreased by 10 points compared to the previous year and was recorded as 79.9 percent.
