Agricultural production cost concerns in Batman, Turkey

Overview

Agricultural producers in Batman, Turkey, are reporting significant financial pressure due to rising production costs for various crops.

In mid-September, cotton producers expressed concerns regarding the sustainability of cultivation for the upcoming season. Farmers cited substantial increases in the costs of diesel, fertilizer, pesticides, irrigation, labor, and harvester services. To maintain profitability, they requested product prices between 50-55 lira per kilogram and government subsidies of at least 5,000 lira per decare.

By late September, corn producers in the same region reported similar challenges during the harvest of approximately 60,000 decares. Facing high costs for inputs such as fertilizer and diesel, corn farmers called on the Turkish Grain Board (TMO) to set purchase prices of at least 16,000 to 16,500 TL per ton to avoid losses, noting that current market prices are lower, between 14,000 and 14,500 TL.
