Assessing Impacts of COVID-19 on Agricultural Production and Food Systems in the World and in Turkey

Abstract

Korona virüs (COVID-19) pandemisi dünya gündemine 2020 yılının başında yıkıcı bir konu olarak girdi. Yeni nesil virüsünün sağlık ve yaşamın sürdürülebilirliğinin yanında ekonomik etkileri de görünür oldu. İnsanlar tarım ve gıda sistemlerinin önemini, bunların arzına erişimleri azaldığında fark ettiler. Bu yayın COVID-19’un tarım ve gıda sistemlerine olan etkisini hem dünya geneli hem de Türkiye için değerlendirme ve tartışmayı amaçlamıştır. Sektör ve buna bağlı olan sektörler hem talep hem de arz açısından olumsuz etkilendi. Tarımın karşı karşıya kaldığı değişiklikler dünya üzerinde neredeyse her yerde aynı oldu. Bu değişiklikler üretimin dönemselliği ve geçici ya da göçer işgücü arzı eksikliğine bağlı olarak oluşan arz daralması, dış ticarete bağlı fiyat artışları, karantina uygulamalarına bağlı talep daralması ve tüketici tercihlerinin değişmesi şeklindedir. Bu değişikliklerle başa çıkma ve geleceğe hazırlanmanın tek yolu tarım ve gıda sisteminin mevcut durumunu analiz etmek, üreticileri destekleyecek araçlar kullanmak, arz sistemlerini değişen tüketici eğilimlerine uyarlamak ve tüm canlıların gıda güvenliği ve güvencesini sağlamaktır. Küresel öngörüler Türkiye için de geçerlidir. Ek olarak, artan ihracat potansiyeli ile tarım ve gıda üretim endüstrilerini entegre etme olasılıkları nedeniyle Türkiye için fırsatlar bulunmaktadır.
