Economic Environment of the Agricultural Sector in Crisis Times: Case Study of Turkey

Abstract

Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey is considered as an emerging economic power. As a member of several organizations such as the OECD, NATO and the G20, Turkey plays a major role in the region to which it belongs. That country is considered all as great agricultural country, not only able to feed its large population, due to a discreet but effective "green revolution", but also capable of exporting both to Europe and to its Middle Eastern neighbors. However, internal instability, jihadist terrorism linked to the war in Syria, the resumption of the Kurdish conflict and the current monetary crisis that is raging since several years affected on all sectors particularly the agricultural sector’s economy.
