How it started
What happened
Persistent inflation is being driven by widespread increases in the cost of inputs used in goods and services, according to Reserve Bank research. In the agricultural sector, input costs are rising sharply, such as feed and electricity for poultry farmers, while product prices have fallen in some markets. Separately, the annual rate of increase in Türkiye's Agricultural Input Price Index slowed to 27.62% in July 2026, down from 32.06% in June.

Why it matters
The increase in production expenses is translating into higher consumer prices. For some producers, rising operational costs are occurring alongside falling sales prices, leading to mounting losses and forcing some farmers to cease operations. This pressure is also limiting the ability of companies to expand future profit margins.
