Agricultural support initiatives in Turkey are targeting livestock producers through various regional programs. In Gaziantep, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s ‘Rural Abundance, Support for Livestock’ project is distributing animals, such as İvesi breed sheep and rams, to beneficiaries including women, youth, and those in earthquake-affected areas.

In Istanbul, the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) is addressing rising costs by providing livestock feed. Between 2022 and 2025, the municipality distributed over 6 million kilograms of milk feed, with additional support planned for 2026 to bolster local food security and producer self-sufficiency.
