Vegetables Production and Self-Sufficiency in Turkey and the European Union (EU)
Abstract
In this study, it was evaluated the total
vegetables production, distribution of
production to vegetable species, and self-sufficiency of vegetables production in
Turkey and the European Union (EU), and share of countries in vegetable
production in EU. According to 2016 data, vegetables were produced as 30.1
million tons in Turkey and 69.2 million tons in EU. The vegetables’ production of Turkey largely consists
of fruit vegetables (82.5%) such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons and
watermelons. Tomatoes have approximately a share in 40-45% of total vegetable
production of Turkey. On the other hand, the share of leafy and tuber
vegetables in vegetable production of EU countries is higher than that of
Turkey. Most (65-70%) of the vegetable in the EU is produced in 7 member
countries. These countries are Italy (21.3%), Spain (18.7%), Poland (8.5%),
France (7.5%), Netherlands (7.2%) and Greece (5.3%). Turkey's self-sufficiency in vegetable
production is higher than that of EU countries.
