The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) has implemented measures to manage agricultural commodity markets through sales and purchase programs.

In mid-September 2026, the TMO launched a barley sales program for the 2026/27 season, making 102,794 tons available to stabilize the domestic feed market. The program targeted livestock breeders and feed factories, setting prices for domestic and imported barley at 14,000 TL per ton.

By October 2026, the TMO shifted focus to rice procurement. To protect producers and ensure market stability during the harvest, the board announced specific purchase prices for various rice varieties, such as the Baldo and Cammeo groups. These purchases, scheduled to begin in mid-October, utilize a reservation system to manage acquisitions through TMO facilities and licensed warehouses.
