Speaking at the program, Agriculture and Forestry Provincial Director İbrahim Sağlam said, “The committee established by the Ministry carries out agricultural production planning by taking into account climate change, in order to ensure supply security, increase efficiency, and develop agricultural production, based on the supply and demand amounts and adequacy rates in suitable ecologies. The production of strategic products in the most suitable locations, along with optimization in resource usage, increasing efficiency and agricultural yield, preventing our producers from facing marketing issues during the harvest period, contributing to raising their welfare levels, and ensuring the sustainable use of our natural resources while taking climate change into account aims to create a production planning centered around water. Thus, while protecting and strengthening our producers, it will also ensure that our consumers benefit from the increased welfare. With the new support model, plant production supports have been announced for the first time for three years. For the first time, support payments were announced before the production period. Simplification was carried out in the support items. All producers registered in the ÇKS who engage in plant production will receive support. Additional support will be provided for strategic products within the scope of production planning. Additional support will be provided for production suitable for crop rotation in basins with water constraints. Those producing with national seeds improved by public institutions will receive additional support. The support amounts will be updated each year according to changes in input costs,” he said.

Canik District Governor Şeref Aydın also stated in his speech at the program, “With this meeting, our farmers will be made aware of production planning, and guiding information will be provided about the advantages of the new support model. Our farmers will be directed towards planned production. Before making decisions about production, our farmers will know which basin, which product, and how much support they will receive. Thus, we will guide our farmers towards planned production and also prevent some of the negative aspects brought by unplanned production. I wish this meeting to be beneficial for the agriculture of our province and for our producers engaged in agriculture,” he said.

The meeting was also attended by branch managers, district directors, representatives of non-governmental organizations, staff working in provincial and district directorates, and farmers engaged in agricultural production.
