- Abstract
It is known that the agricultural sector affects national income, employment, foreign trade, and industry. Due to compulsory food consumption, the agricultural sector is an essential sector and is important for the current and future situation of the country's economy. It is known that the agricultural potentials of the countries are affected by reasons such as changing consumption habits and the global climate. Global climate change directly affects agricultural areas through extreme weather events such as droughts and floods. It is estimated that global climate change will be the main cause of a possible food crisis in the coming years, so countries need to examine their agricultural structures and take measures against a possible food crisis. Agriculture has an important place in the Turkish economy. It is known that Türkiye is the leading country in foreign trade in some agricultural products. The main purpose of this study is to test whether Türkiye is a competitive country in agricultural products. In the study, the Revealed Comparative Advantages (RCA) index was used to measure Türkiye's competition in agricultural products. The study period covers the years 2000-2021. According to RCA index calculations, it was found that Türkiye has disadvantages in 19 of 46 agricultural products and advantages in 27 of 46 agricultural products. These 27 agricultural products are divided into three categories: weak, medium, and strong advantage levels. Accordingly, Türkiye was found to have a weak advantage in 5 agricultural products, a medium advantage in 9 agricultural products, and a strong advantage in 13 agricultural products.
