What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Seed cotton production in Türkiye is expected to fall 38% due to rising input costs and the impact of the Middle East war. The Turkish Statistical Institute predicts output will drop to 1.2 million tons, the lowest level in 35 years. Farmers are increasingly shifting cultivation to alternative crops such as wheat and corn.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The decline in Turkish seed cotton output is projected to contribute to a 2% drop in global cotton production for the 2026-2027 season. Rising expenses for fertilizer, diesel, energy, and labor are putting significant pressure on the agricultural sector.
