Beans market Turkey, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

The bean market in Turkey showed initial stability in 2018, with volume reaching 667.7 thousand tons, supported by regulations mandating improved cold storage, sorting, and packaging facilities at wholesale markets alongside policies to enhance consumer awareness and protection. Market volume grew to a peak of 684.9 thousand tons in 2019 before contracting significantly to 633.6 thousand tons in 2020.

Production and market volume continued to decline in 2021 to 584.7 thousand tons, with a modest recovery to 594 thousand tons in 2022. The downward trend resumed in 2023, with the market falling to 573.6 thousand tons; during this year, the government rolled out support measures under the Agricultural Basins Model, increasing subsidies for dry bean production and introducing price stabilization packages to bolster local supply and prevent speculative price movements.

In 2024, regulatory activity continued with new import control rules for agricultural products, mandatory arbitration committees for wholesale market disputes, and restrictions on marketing terms used on food labels, all while existing subsidies for beans remained in effect alongside growing ecological considerations influencing consumer preferences.
