In Russia, agricultural production decreased in 1990s, but it increased again in 2000s. The demand of agricultural products has increased with the economic growth, so Russia has become one of largest agricultural products importer after China. Also the country has clarified its place as a part of word trade system becoming a member of WTO. In Turkey, it was aimed extensive changes via ARUP after 2001. In addition to the privatization of SOEs, the agricultural support tools have also changed considerable. The imports of vegetable oil, animal products and even the wheat have increased accompanying the change of support tools. Because of the structural change and the clear impact of international policies on agriculture in Turkey and Russia, the importance of evaluating their agricultural structure and policies has even more increased. Russia stays at the first place with its 6% share in Turkey’s trade of agricultural products. That share is especially changeable in terms of import. Because the share in the import increased to 20% in 2012. The other important issue is that the trade concentration of specific products over time. Turkey's share of sugar and cereals export to Russia was 50% in 1995, it decreased to 2% in 2012. But the share of vegetable and fruit in agricultural export reached to 80% in 2012. On the import side, the share of cereals was 5% in agricultural import and it increased to 44% in 2012. At the same year, the share of animal and vegetable oils in agricultural import was around 30%. The study aims to evaluate the trade of agricultural products between Turkey and Russia. Also the changes of two countries' agricultural structure and policies have also been evaluated in terms of the trade effect CR - Aydın, Z., 2010. "Neo-Liberal Transformation of Turkish Agriculture."
