18 August 20252 min reading

With the start of the corn harvest in early August, TMO has set the 2025 season purchase price at 11,300 TL per ton. The total amount producers will receive, including government support, has also been confirmed.

Turkish Grain Board (TMO), operating under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, announced that the purchase price for 2025 corn is 11,300 TL per ton. According to statements on its website and official social media accounts, the harvest began locally in Adana and Hatay in early August, with nationwide harvest progress at around 5%.

The ministry will continue the previous diesel-fertilizer support under a new model as “basic support” and “planned production support” aligned with production planning. In addition, producers using locally certified seeds will receive an “production development support.” Considering all these supports, including solid organic fertilizer support, producers will receive a total of 11,968 TL per ton. TMO payments will be made to producers’ bank accounts within 30 days following delivery of the products.


FEED INDUSTRY FORECASTS PRODUCTION AT 7 MILLION TONS

Turkey’s Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) had initially projected 2025 corn production at 8.5 million tons, a 4.9% increase compared to last year. However, drought and water shortages are expected to reduce output. Ülkü Karakuş, President of the Turkish Feed Manufacturers Association (TÜRKİYEM-BİR), stated at the end of July that this year’s production is estimated at around 7 million tons. To meet the approximately 12 million tons of domestic consumption, imports from Ukraine and Russia are required.
