    Contracting tobacco growing in Turkey
    (2005) Koçtürk O.M.; Cebeci A.N.
    Tobacco is a very important product in Turkish agriculture and economy. As a result of a change in the privatization policies, the support of the state in tobacco (production) is abrogated. With the introduction of the new law (No: 4733) the marketing system of tobacco has totally changed and has been replaced with the auction system and contract production. In this study the tobacco production in the year 2002 is scrutinized in order to evaluate the effect of the contract production system on tobacco production by means of a field research in Manisa. The auction system will be launched in 2003, that is why it is not included in this study. According to the research findings the majority of the producers are not satisfied with the contract production system as the contractions are being prepared one-sided and producers do not have the right to haggle. The problems that occured in the application of this new law are suggested to be eliminated by adapting the auction system, akin to the one in the USA, which enables producers to partake in the marketing of the product.

    The Asymmetric Effect Of Real Effective Exchange Rate Volatility On Agricultural Foreign Trade: The Example Of Turkey In The Period 2013-2021; [Reel Efektif Döviz Kuru Oynaklığının Tarımsal Dış Ticaret Üzerindeki Asimetrik Etkisi: 2013-2021 Arası Dönemde Türkiye Örneği]
    (Turkish Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2022) Akin S.; Duramaz S.; Koçtürk O.M.
    Purpose: The recent extreme volatilities in exchange rates have made it important to examine exchange rate volatility on foreign trade. The aim of this study is to reveal the asymmetric effect of real effective exchange rate volatility on agricultural foreign trade in terms of different economic conjunctures in the period 2013:01-2021:08. Design/Methodology/Approach: ARMA(1,0)-EGARCH(1,1) model was used to measure exchange rate volatility. The effect of exchange rate volatility on the foreign trade effect was analyzed with the MSIAH model. Findings: According to the results, it has been revealed that the effect of real exchange rate volatility on foreign trade differs in terms of economic expansion and contraction regimes, and real exchange rate volatility in the economic expansion regime has an increasing effect on imports. Originality/Value: The study is expected to draw more attention to agricultural problems in the recent period, and to contribute to the solution of problems related to agricultural foreign trade, especially in the exchange rate axis. © 2022, Turkish Journal of Agricultural Economics.
