THE CONCENTRATION ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN TURKEY: ARE THERE ANY CHANGES IN THE PERIOD 2010 - 2015?

Despite the regional policies taken into agenda in all development plans inTurkey, inter-regional imbalances could not be resolved. Dynamics of the regionmust be examined in detail to resolve the inter-regional imbalance problems andin the light of these data differing policies should be developed in each specificregion. Thus, detailed studies are needed on basis of regions and provinces. It iscritically important to establish the priorities in agro-food production for utilizingthe resources effectively and for competing against others like in Turkey whoseagro-food sector is relatively dominant both in terms of population andemployment. Therefore, it is aimed to determine the sectorial priorities inagriculture for using geographic concentration coefficient analysis in agriculturalsub-sectors in Turkey.Inthiscontext, considering the Nomenclature of TerritorialUnits for Statistics (NUTS) - Level 2 (26 regions), the weight of employmentstructure of rural areas in Turkey will be analyzed for each region. Locationcoefficients will be calculated for each sector by comparing the population that isliving in rural areas and working in agricultural, industrial and service sectors,withsector values of Turkey’s rural areas. Later,agricultural sector will be analyzed onthe basis of sub-sector for Level 2 regions. These analyses will be done for both2010 and 2015 to compare the differences during this period. The reason of thesediversities between mentioned time periods will be clarified by utilizing theagricultural policy applications in Turkey

ARE POLAND AND TURKEY RIVALS IN THE EU AGRICULTURAL MARKET?

International Scientific Conference on Economic Sciences for Agribusiness and Rural Economy -- JUN 07-07, 2018 -- Warsaw, POLANDWOS:000502418600031Poland and Turkey are one of the largest global producers and particularly exporters of fruits. The export is of great importance to domestic producers of these fruits. This paper attempts to assess Polish and Turkish fruit sectors' competitiveness. For competitive comparison of Poland and Turkey, balance of foreign trade, trade coverage index, share in export and import, specialisation index, relative revealed comparative export advantage index, relative import penetration index, relative trade advantage index were calculated. According to the results, Turkey has shown to have comparative advantage for all periods. in contrast, however, Poland seems to be losing its advantages. Although Poland's competitiveness is diminishing, Poland enjoys free access to EU market.Warsaw Univ Life Sci, Fac Edon Sc
