Özet

Problems of Turkish agriculture need a “structural transformation” and what to do for this purpose are frequently mentioned by the bureaucrats and scientists studying in the field of economy. However, the studies on this issue have been mainly theoretical and focused on a single subject. In this study, the issue was discussed with a holistic perspective, 92 public servants were interviewed and their opinions and assessments on the agricultural problems and need for “structural transformation” in agriculture were examined. In conclusion, the failure of ensuring income increase, ineffectiveness of agricultural cooperatives and rural education were identified to be the factors affecting the transformation.
