Soil Products Office (TMO) announced the paddy purchase prices for 2026. According to Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) data, paddy production is expected to increase by 7.7 percent this year compared to last year and reach 1 million 75 thousand tons.

Within the scope of the prices announced by TMO, the purchase price per ton of 55-yield Baldo group paddy was 45 thousand TL, 58-yield Cammeo group paddy was 43 thousand TL, and Toros group paddy was 41 thousand TL. The purchase price was determined as 38 thousand TL for 60 yield Osmancık group paddy, 35 thousand TL for Ronaldo group paddy, and 32 thousand TL for other long varieties of paddy.

Recruitment will start on October 15

TMO will purchase paddy rice at its own workplaces and licensed warehouses with which a protocol has been signed. An appointment system will be implemented to prevent producers from waiting for long periods at purchasing points. Appointments can be made online or via e-Government as of October 13, 2026. Physical purchases will begin on October 15.

Purchases will be made six days a week at TMO workplaces, except for Sundays and public holidays. The entire production amount of producers registered in the Farmer Registration System (ÇKS) can be purchased.

TMO will transfer the paddy costs to the producers' bank accounts within 21 days following the product delivery. While the stock exchange registration fee is covered by TMO, a 1 percent service fee deduction will be applied at temporary purchasing centers.

In addition to the purchase price, producers will also be paid basic support and certified seed use support by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
