Extreme autumn rainfall across several Turkish regions has caused significant disruptions to agricultural production. In Adıyaman, Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep, and Şanlıurfa, excessive rain has delayed harvests and prevented the drying of essential crops such as tobacco, corn, cotton, and peanuts. Ahmet Tevfik Dayan, the Besni District President of the Anahtar Party, warned that these conditions put regional farmers at risk of bankruptcy and could lead to food inflation and shortages.

In the Adana province, specifically the Kozan district, heavy precipitation has turned fields into mud, preventing machinery from accessing peanut crops. Local producers report that moisture levels may drastically reduce yields, with some expecting outputs to drop from 500 kilograms to as low as 200 or 250 kilograms.
