Maize consumption at the farm gate in Turkey has shown a general upward trend from 2013 to 2023, increasing from 6.65 million metric tons in 2013 to 8.86 million metric tons in 2023. The annual variations indicate notable fluctuations, with significant growth in some years, such as 2016 and 2017, and minor declines, like in 2015. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaged around 2.41%, indicating moderate but consistent growth in maize consumption. From 2024 onwards, forecasted data suggest a continued upward trend, reaching 10.07 million metric tons by 2028, with an average forecasted CAGR of 2.03%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on yield, technological advances in maize farming, and economic policies affecting agricultural trade. Additionally, shifts in domestic demand and export opportunities could further influence consumption patterns.
