If the inherited land is not cultivated for 2 years, it will be rented.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Ebubekir Zenginder said: “There are fields, lands and vineyards inherited from our mother and father, but we cannot process them due to the peculiarities of property and inheritance laws. We made a request about this. “If any land is not cultivated within two years, is not rented or does not produce itself, we have determined a method,” he said.

“First, we will rent that land through the digital rental method, starting from the nearest settlement and growing house by house,” he said, adding: “The proceeds will be deposited into the bank account of the person or persons.”

Özelgider was speaking at the meeting called ‘From the heart of agriculture to the world: Antalya Agriculture Summit’ organized by the European Union Information Center of the Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ATSO).

“Oranges made money, a lot of money, there were orange trees everywhere,” says Zenginder. The following year, the oranges made no money, the farmers revolted and dumped truck after truck of oranges, tomatoes and lemons. We will put an end to all this. “We will decide who will produce, where, what and how much,” he said.

“We feed at least 100 million people every day with our guests and tourists in Turkey,” said Zenginder, adding: “We will decide where, what, how and how to plant and plant according to this plan. Starting this year we will spend to production planning. Maybe there will be short-term objections. They’ll say, ‘I was measuring and planting myself, you wouldn’t understand.’ “After 10 years, we might not be able to farm,” he said.

AROUND 600-700 SINKLETS WERE FORMED IN KONYA

Referring to the misuse of water and water shortage in agricultural production, Zengingider mentioned that there are between 600 and 700 sinkholes in Konya. Emphasizing that the production of corn or other food in unnecessary places and the extraction of water from a depth of 600 to 700 meters cause sinkholes, Özelgider explained that sinkholes can pose a danger such as the demolition of towns and apartment buildings in the coming years. years.

Zenginder noted that Turkey has the opportunity to trade with 65 percent of the world’s working population within a 4-hour plane trip:

“Turkey’s export planning affects the world. The second largest pasta factory in the world is located in Gaziantep. There is criticism that “wheat is imported.” On the other hand, we are facing blackouts.

Turkey’s total exports in 2002 amounted to 36 billion dollars, from industry to agriculture, from textiles to machinery. From 2022, Turkey’s agricultural exports will reach $30 billion, despite economic contractions around the world. Total exports reached 254 billion dollars. Everything we do will affect the world with the butterfly effect. “It’s at a level that will directly affect Asia, Europe and Europe.”

‘THE PRICE OF TOMATOES INCREASES TO 22 TL UNTIL THEY ARRIVE IN ISTANBUL’

Secretgider said the goal of the contract production system is to make farmers feel comfortable and prevent the supplier from taking risks. Explaining the difference in the price of the product when it leaves the field and when it reaches the consumer with the example of “tired tomato syndrome,” Zenginder said:

“The tomatoes that left Antalya by land entered Istanbul after 800 kilometers. Even if a tomato costs zero lira in Antalya, in Istanbul it costs 22 lira. The producer earns zero, the consumer eats for 22 liras. We will resolve this. In one way or another, Türkiye has been in a migration trend since the 1960s. There is migration to metropolitan cities due to industrialization, increasing the proportion of prosperity and for cultural reasons. We couldn’t help it. There is no agriculture, no settlements, no breathing room left in Istanbul. Organized Agricultural Zones (OTB) will be established within the framework of the intensification of agricultural activities near the outskirts of the city. It will be a greenhouse system. We will build 100 in 5 years. You have to be careful with internal consumption. “May that tired tomato be consumed a few kilometers away without getting tired.”

‘WE WILL PUT LANDS INTO PRODUCTION’

Secretgider stated that support for farmers will be determined through production planning and how much support will be provided to producers in which region will be planned. Explaining that speeches such as “Idle agricultural land must be cultivated” and “No wasteland should be left behind” were widely used for many years, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Private Secretgider continued:

“After all, there is the right to private property. In this context, there are fields, lands and vineyards inherited from the mother and father after the brothers left for different provinces, but we cannot process them due to peculiarities of property and inheritance law. We made a request about this. The story began on April 5, 2023.

We have determined a method if any land is not cultivated within 2 years, is not rented, is not produced on its own or is not cultivated for any reason. First, we will rent that land using the digital rental method, starting from the nearest settlement and growing house by house. We will put those lands into production. Your winnings will also be deposited into the bank account of the person or persons. People will also make money. “We don’t want to have empty land.” (DHA)
