With this support, the farmer does not turn on the ignition of the tractor.
It was stated that the agricultural aid announced by the government is far from encouraging farmers to produce and there is a danger that the country will become dependent on imports for food. CHP Aydın MP Evrim Karakoz said: “The AKP government is determined to wipe out production, agriculture and farmers in this country and make the people of this country dependent on foreign sources for food.” The other day the agricultural aid and the amounts of aid that will be granted in 2023 were announced. Once again, the farmer did not find what he expected and did not receive the support he expected. Karakoz stated that the aid announced is far from encouraging farmers to produce: “The fertilizer, which last year cost 14,000 liras, this year amounts to 21,000 liras. Likewise, diesel cost 23 liras, today it has already exceeded 39 liras,” he said.
WITHOUT FERTILIZERS, WITHOUT PRODUCERS
Stating that the price of seed products has increased at least twice, Karakoz said: “But see that the fertilizer support provided by the AKP government by decare for products such as wheat, barley, chickpeas, potatoes, cotton and hazelnuts has not changed at all. . Now it is the same as last year, without fertilizers there is no quality product. “If there is no fertilizer, there is no producer,” he said. Karakoz stated that given the increase in support for diesel between 2 lira and 95 lira per decare, it will not be enough for the farmer to even turn on the engine of his tractor, much less plow his field; “How will a producer of barley, wheat, lentils and chickpeas, who uses between 8 and 9 liters of diesel per decare, or a producer of potatoes, cotton and rice, who consumes between 21 and 22 liters of diesel per decare, produce?” , asked. saying.
