Turkey has implemented the B-Reçete Digital Tracking System, a mandatory initiative across all 81 provinces as of July 1, 2026. Managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the system provides digital oversight of plant protection products, or pesticides, through barcodes and electronic records.

The system monitors the entire lifecycle of these products, including prescription, sale, and field application. By tracking where and how much pesticide is used, the initiative aims to prevent excessive chemical application, promote sustainable agricultural ecosystems, and ensure food safety by minimizing chemical residues.
