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.
