Enviro News Asia, Ankara – Turkey’s agricultural output reached a historic high last year, surpassing the $80 billion threshold for the first time to hit $83.2 billion, according to the World Bank’s 2025 Agricultural Output Report, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry İbrahim Yumaklı announced.
Describing the achievement as a “historic record” that places Turkey “at the top of the global league,” Yumaklı said the country now ranks first in Europe and seventh in the world by agricultural output.
