The programme will support agriculture, livestock, meat and milk production, processing, marketing, diversification of farm activities, micro enterprise development, rural tourism and fishing areas.
Turkey has agricultural diversity because of suitable climate and soil conditions. So it makes agriculture sector one of the most important economic components of Turkey’s economy. However, in recent years, the share of agriculture in the economy has declined due to developments on industry, commerce and service sectors. But agriculture never loses it’s value because of contribution to national income, the raw materials and capital industry, creating and preserving a healthy environment, establishment of ecological balance and sustainability. Despite the importance of agriculture, national support in the agriculture has not been very extensive. Therefore IPA Rural Development Program will be the most comprehensive support with high budget in Turkey. With this programme it is expected that the agricultural potential of Turkey will be used more productive.

Individual producers, agricultural businesses, SMEs, manufacturers associations and cooperatives will have right to receive grant.
The program plans to increase the number of enterprises producing in accordance with EU standards. It targets to improve the income level of the rural population. As a result, the program aims to transform the Turkish agricultural sector into a globally competitive one that produces in accordance with global standards with a high level of productivity.
