Abstract:

The main purpose of this study is to suggest a more effective support system after evaluating the effectiveness of the implemented support policy to maintain the continuity of the cereal production, which is of great importance for Turkiye's food security. The production costs of three basic grain products, wheat, barley and corn, were calculated for the period of 2006-2022 based on the data obtained from the relevant institutions, the change in the annual producer income is put forward considering the domestic prices of the products and the unit support provided to them. Moreover, the relationship between income, domestic and world prices and production were displayed over time. The level of effect of support on the production and the level of being affected by prices are tried to be differentiated by the interaction of production of crops with the alternative crops as well. Considering the food safety concerns, there is a need for a dynamic system that takes into account the multi-annual changes in producer income, alternative products and products in rotation. Young people can benefit from another support on the social security system targeting the poorest among the producers, that is believed to provide the continuation of production via preventing migration or stimulating reverse migration to rural areas.
