Objective: The
aim of this study is to examine wheat varieties and quality values coming to
Ankara, Eskişehir and Konya commodity exchanges by comparing them
with the quality purchasing table of Turkish Grain Board.
Material and Methods: Wheat
and quality values purchased in Eskişehir, Konya and Polatlı Commodity
Exchanges (2018 year). Implementation of production techniques, 425 producers
were interviewed face-to-face and data were collected by questionnaire.
Results: The wheat with the highest
protein value was obtained from Konya and Polatlı commodity exchanges (90-95%
good and very good) according to the purchasing table of the Turkish Grain
Board. This was followed by the Eskişehir commodity exchange (86-88% good and
very good). However, other quality values (hectolitre, gluten index,
sedimentation value) were found to be low. It was concluded that this
situation was caused by the wrong practices and climatic conditions in the
cultivation technique. In the study area, 44.9% of
the producers did not apply the cultivation technique, 30.1% of the applicants
were partially applied and 24.9% of the applicants were identified.
Conclusion: It was
concluded that the most important problem in quality wheat production was
insufficient cultivation techniques.
