Turkey agricultural technology and digitalization

Overview

Turkey is advancing its agricultural sector through the integration of digital technology, robotics, and new infrastructure. The Higher Education Council (YÖK) initiated a precision agriculture and robotics program to address challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity. This academic shift includes the establishment of a specialized department at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, which focuses on training professionals in artificial intelligence, smart greenhouse systems, and automated livestock facilities.

Complementing these educational efforts, practical technological implementations are emerging across the country. In Dodurga, a new seed cleaning facility has begun operations to process various grains. Additionally, in Yalova, a partnership has introduced the ‘AgriGO. AI’ system, which utilizes satellite imagery and meteorological data to provide farmers with guidance on irrigation, fertilization, and disease management via WhatsApp.
