This study was aimed to evaluate the supply and adequacy of animal products in Turkey supposing that individuals consume recommended dietary reference values by age and gender. As a result, the increase in livestock supports in Turkey had a positive effect on the production, but this increase was not sufficient to ensure for nutritionally adequate diet of the society. In 2019, the animal products supply requirement in Turkey was calculated as 31.39 kg for red meat-chicken meat, 27.22 kg for fish, 13.54 kg for eggs and 252.99 kg for milk and dairy products per capita. However, considering the current dietary composition of the population, the supplies of animal products, excluding milk and dairy products, were below the requirement. Ensuring sufficient supply and accessibility of animal products is possible with the production planning considering the nutritional problems of the society and holistic and long-term measures for supply chain of animal products.
