TMO started grain supply

In the statement made by TMO, it was stated that the Office started grain supply and that record figures were recorded in wheat and barley production this year.

In this sense, the statement underlined that 2026 is a production period in which the strong supply structure stands out and made the following evaluation:

"This high level reached in production was also reflected in TMO's purchases and our Institution experienced one of the busiest purchasing periods in its history. While the wheat and barley harvest is coming to an end, our Institution is about to complete the purchasing process of these products. Corn harvest started in mid-August and the harvest rate throughout the country is currently around 20 percent. Since the prices were in favor of the producer, the corn purchase price was not announced by TMO. While the strong supply of wheat and barley continues, corn is in the Mediterranean Region. "Harvest is nearing completion. With the Central Anatolia Region also entering harvest, corn supply to the market will increase significantly in the coming weeks."

"Product supply to the market has started with strong stocks"

In the statement, it was stated that the temporary supply contraction seen in the corn market was caused by the short harvest transition between production regions and the refraining from supplying the product to the market due to the expectation of a price increase.

In the statement, it was emphasized that the aim was to meet the need for feed raw materials that may arise in the market during the corn harvest with alternative products and to reduce the demand pressure on corn, and the following was noted:

"Taking into account the needs in the market in the 2026/27 sales season and the developments in the supply-demand balance, our institution has brought forward the start of sales and started to supply products to the market with its strong stocks. In the first stage, low-quality wheat has been put on sale through TÜRİB, and in the coming days, the scope of sales will be expanded and the products in TMO's own warehouses as well as licensed warehouses will be offered for sale in line with market needs. Barley sales will also be started in order to meet the need in the feed raw material market. Our institution "The supply of feed raw materials will be supported by making the barley in our stocks available to the relevant sectors, especially our breeders and breeders. There is no problem in terms of product supply in our country's grain markets, and if the tendency to postpone the supply of corn to the market with the expectation of a price increase continues, TMO will take all necessary measures to ensure supply security."
