Agricultural Structure and Mechanization Level of Turkey

In turkey, agricultural machinery sector has a history of 58 years. in this sector, a significant criteria for the level of mechanization is that the tractor power per area (ha), the number of tractor per area (ha), area (ha) per tractor and the number of tractors per 1000 enterprises respectively 2,42 (kw/ha), 56,25 (tractors/1000ha), 17,75 (ha/tractor) and 444,65 (tractor/1000enterprises) stay behind the values for the developed countries for the average number in 2009. the more structural differences among regions are observed, the more increase in the levels of mechanization of the regions. tractor density, marmara, aegean, mediterranean and black sea regions are above the average value for turkey, while those of the other regions are below the average value for turkey. when the density value of the tractor is compared, the ratio between the highest density and the lowest tractor density can be differed 4-5 times between the regions in turkey.
