The Turkey Breeding Sheep Goat Breeders' Central Union (TÜDKİYEB) is urging for forest areas to be opened for grazing small cattle to prevent fodder deficits. The union's chairman, Nihat Celik, believes this could potentially solve the country's red meat deficit. The Black Sea Region, which has the third widest range of pastures in Turkey, could benefit from this by increasing the number of animals.
