The First Plan of Crop Production for 2021 by TURKSTAT predicts a decrease in the production of cereals, vegetables, and fruits, beverages, and spice crops compared to the previous year. Specifically, cereal production is expected to decrease by 5.5% to 35.1 million tons, with wheat, corn, and barley production seeing a decrease. However, there will be an increase in oat production. Vegetable production is expected to decrease by 0.3% to 31.1 million tons, with tubers and root vegetables and vegetables grown for their fruits decreasing, while other vegetables will increase. Fruit production is expected to increase by 7.1% to 25.3 million tons, with decreases in apples, grapes, and pistachios, but increases in tangerines, oranges, lemons, nuts, and bananas. Former General Manager of the Turkish Grain Board, İsmail Kemaloğlu, suggests that TURKSTAT's production decrease estimates are optimistic and that there will be a serious revision in the second prediction.
