UN report hails improvements in Turkish farming

Efforts to resuscitate agricultural life in Turkey have resulted in a "real success story," according to a new report by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. The report focuses on countries seen as successful examples in agricultural production and food safety, including Algeria, Armenia, Brazil, Nigeria, Turkey and Vietnam. According to the report, even though agricultural growth on the whole has been slow in Turkey, the real value of its agricultural exports has increased significantly, thanks to the economic reforms of liberalized markets and trade.
