However we still have issues to be sorted out in our sectorHowever we still have issues to be sorted out in our sector

�� Potato StoryPotato Story�� Industrial PotatoIndustrial Potato

– Annual Potato production in Turkey is 5.3 million tons, only 120 thousand tons areindustrial potato varieties (FLT ’05 usage : 60 thousand tons). 2% compared to 62%in USA, 57% in UK, 53% in Holland & 58% in Germany

�� Certified SeedCertified Seed– Certified Seeds are required to protect the soil from diseases, improve field

productivity, and deliver high yield from the potato. In 2005 Turkey needed 62thousand tons of elite seed for seed multiplication to have certified seeds, butMinistry of Agriculture’s quota was 10 thousand tons only (FLT for the first timeawarded with 1500 tons that secures our 06-07 season potato needs)

�� Contracted FarmingContracted Farming– Contracted potato farming practice secures the farmers. However, only 9% of potato

farming in Turkey is contracted compared to 85% in USA and 77% in Holland.

�� Conscious Agriculture Conscious Agriculture requires to haverequires to have– Soil Analysis to prevent disease and identify required fertilizer usage– Seed/Fertilizer/Chemicals balanced and controlled use– Crop Rotation to protect the fields from disease and improve

productivity….unfortunately due to lack of resources of ministry and education offarmers the control is very poor…resulted in Synchitrium Endobioticum (potatocancer) disease in well known potato farming areas of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli.Unfortunately is now spreading out due to weakness of quarantine measures.

�� Temp. & Humidity Controlled Storage CapacityTemp. & Humidity Controlled Storage Capacity– Fresh chipstock is available from June to October then it is the storage period when

temp & humidity controlled storage required to protect the quality and yield of thepotatos. In Nevsehir area there are primitive cave stores used for this purpose. FLT &suppliers have build and renovated 35 thousand tons of modern storage area &continue to build as required. ./..

Page 33: Atc Fahhan(Presentation)

However we still have issues to be sorted out in our sectorHowever we still have issues to be sorted out in our sector

��Barriers on Seasonal ImportationBarriers on Seasonal Importation– The end of the storage season April-May is critical for the stored potato

quality and yield performance in industrial production. Current industrialvarieties have low performance. During this period we need to haveimported potato. Though by law potato importation is not banned.Ministry applies all bureaucratic barriers not to give importation permit.The recent application resulted in having permission on May 12thThursday valid till May 15th Sunday ! Is this a joke? Still we can importfinished packed potato chips from our sister companies in Europe. Thisyear we imported 1,000 tons of finished products from Spain.

��Customs & Quarantine regulations not in line Customs & Quarantine regulations not in line w/Ew/EUU– Unfortunately we have not adopted yet EU regulations in our Customs

and Quarantine procedures both for elite seeds and theoretical potatoimports

��Government Incentives for Industrial Potato AgroGovernment Incentives for Industrial Potato Agro– Though Ministry is talking about Government incentives for Industrial

potato farming still not walking the talk!

��Subsidization will be removed on the road to Subsidization will be removed on the road to EUEU��Price & Quality Competitiveness for Turkish PotatoPrice & Quality Competitiveness for Turkish Potato

– Unfortunately both price and quality references are way below comparedto European and Middle Eastern standards in industrial potato. (Detailedcomparison can be provided for the interested parties)
