Regional impacts of alternative price policies for Turkey' s dairy sector

Tarımsal politikaların bölgesel etkileri, hem ülke içindeki ekonomik gerekçelerle hem de Türkiye'nin Avrupa Birliğine katılma arzusundan dolayı önemli bir endişe olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışma, son yıllarda dikkate alınan iki alternatif sütçülük destekleme politikasının bölgesel etkilerini analiz etmek için spatial bir denge modelini kullanmaktadır. Bunlar teşvik primi ve hedef fiyat/fark ödemesi politikalarıdır. Her iki politika da, 1980 sonrasındaki trendin Türkiye'nin gelişmiş batı bölgelerinde üretilen sütün payının daha büyük bir oranda artmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Bölgeler arasındaki dengesizlik, süt teşvik primi politikasına göre hedef fiyat politikası altında daha fazla artmaktadır.

Türkiye sütçülük sektöründe alternatif fiyat politikalarının bölgesel etkileri

Regional impacts of agricultural policies have emerged as a key concern in Turkey for both domestic reasons and because of Turkey's desire to join the European Union. This study uses a spatial equilibrium model to analyze the regional impacts of 2 alternative dairy support policies that are currently being considered: a price premium policy and a target price/deficiency payment policy. Both policies are found to exacerbate the post-1980 trend toward a greater share of milk produced in the more prosperous western regions of Turkey. Regional disparity in milk production increases more under the target price policy than under the price premium policy.
