Chamber of Agricultural Engineers: “Agricultural production gives SOS”

In his assertion, Uluçam famous that the principle issues skilled in agriculture are concretion, excessive manufacturing prices and lack of essential agricultural insurance policies. Uluçam acknowledged that it has develop into inconceivable for producers to outlive in these situations. -Citrus producers are in a troublesome state of affairs. Erkut Uluçam touched upon the issues skilled by citrus producers and acknowledged that citrus merchandise couldn’t be marketed underneath the excuse of the Asian Citrus Psyllid epidemic, and consequently, the producers suffered nice losses. Stating that 120 thousand tons of citrus fruits are produced within the nation, however practically 40 thousand tons stay on the branches, Uluçam emphasised that the producers nonetheless haven’t obtained their funds and irrigation prices have reached excessive costs comparable to 14 TL per cubic meter. Uluçam stated, “Whereas we had been questioning whether or not the employees who got here to slaughter had been unlawful or not, the season is over and we’re wanting ahead to new adventures within the new season.”

-The artichoke producer's ebook is closed. Mentioning the issues skilled by artichoke producers, Uluçam acknowledged that though artichoke is an unequalled product in export, contemporary artichoke exports had been barely realized this 12 months. Uluçam stated, “The actions introduced with nice excellent news that our producer will promote his items by canning weren’t fulfilled and consequently, the artichoke producer's ebook was closed.” -Carob manufacturing can be in disaster. Uluçam acknowledged that carob producers are experiencing comparable issues and stated that the structural issues in Binboğa are used as an excuse, and the producers' voices usually are not heard and the carobs are fed to mice within the warehouses. Uluçam stated, “The very precious carob product, utilized in each human and animal vitamin, was deserted to its destiny.” – Pomegranate manufacturing is in peril Stating that comparable issues are skilled in pomegranate manufacturing, Uluçam acknowledged that pomegranate manufacturing, which was made on 2 thousand 500 decares 10 years in the past, dropped to 600 decares on account of improper agricultural insurance policies and solely 200-250 tons of pomegranate produced is enough for the home market. Uluçam stated that if the export door is just not opened, 2/3 of the pomegranate product shall be fed to mice, and requested what the federal government plans to do about this concern and expressed that they ponder whether pomegranate producers shall be compensated. -Response to import insurance policies Erkut Uluçam additionally criticized the federal government's import insurance policies and stated that liberalizing imports left the home producer in an much more troublesome state of affairs. Stating that the merchandise bought from Turkey for “3 cents” are bought at exorbitant costs out there, Uluçam emphasised that the principle purpose for the excessive costs out there is the intermediaries. Stating that the merchandise of home producers are bought at excessive costs, Uluçam acknowledged that the federal government can not management this example and imports don’t cut back costs. Stating that one other essential issue that negatively impacts the agricultural sector is electrical energy costs, Uluçam continued his assertion as follows: “Our nation is in arid local weather situations. Nonetheless, drought doesn’t solely have an effect on farmers producing barley. It deeply impacts everybody who practices irrigated agriculture. Irrigation water drawn from the identical nicely decreased by a median of 60-80 % in comparison with the earlier 12 months. Because the starting of the 12 months, electrical energy costs have elevated by greater than 80 %. In different phrases, the prices of a producer producing underneath the identical situations are as much as 800 % greater. I’m not even discussing the unnecessaryness and unfairness of the electrical energy value will increase and the explanation for these will increase. Nonetheless, even main college kids now know that every value enhance in electrical energy is mirrored first on the producer after which exponentially on the buyer, as a result of multiplier impact. We’re additionally very inquisitive about who or who’s subsequent in line on your goal. Potato farmers, greenhouse farmers or livestock farmers? Our nation has a singular benefit on the earth because of its local weather and soil construction. It’s of indeniable worth when it comes to aroma, style and high quality in lots of merchandise grown and planted. Only a few individuals can afford to supply these merchandise at such excessive prices and fail to market them with unparalleled failure. I wish to thank every one who contributed salt to the soup. If the Minister, who’s going to open imports of fruit and veggies, thought concerning the thought of ​​easy methods to make electrical energy, which is the main think about manufacturing prices, cheaper as a substitute of opening imports, and did some analysis, I believe he would perceive to some extent the place the expensiveness out there comes from, until the intention is completely different… Actually, what must be carried out is a variety of scientifically and economically cheap considering. There’s. However I received't speak about these at present. Right this moment, I’ve two different strategies for agricultural manufacturing which might be according to the present politics and selections made, and I hope that the authorities who don’t take heed to the strategies and ignore the warnings within the present state of affairs will take them into consideration. The primary of those is to shut down all manufacturing within the title of agriculture and livestock, and make everybody a civil servant so that you simply don’t have to take care of it. Additionally, you will have a great voting potential within the nearest election. Secondly, this can be a extra believable motion that may be achieved extra simply by some officers who’ve an opinion with out data of all the pieces, and by managers who have no idea easy methods to do enterprise; “Let's begin exporting area mice, that are fed with a lot wasted produce and have develop into very fats.”
