Speaking at the program, Erdoğan said, "On the occasion of May 14th World Farmers' Day, I am very pleased to be with you. I congratulate all our farmers on World Farmers' Day through you. I hope this meaningful day will bring blessings for our farmers, our nation, and our country."

HE LISTED THOSE PRODUCTS ONE BY ONE

Stating that the weather conditions experienced last month caused damage to some agricultural products, Erdoğan said, "It seems that we will face difficulties this year, especially in certain product groups. Our current findings show that there has been damage of varying degrees in some fruit groups such as apricots, grapes, apples, peaches, and nectarines."

Highlights from Erdoğan's statements;

"Regarding strategic products, thank God there is no danger in terms of our food supply security. Our Ministry of Agriculture has been closely monitoring the process since day one. We regularly receive the necessary information from our Minister. During this process, we have once again seen the importance of Agricultural Insurance and the Farmer Registration System. Unfortunately, we are still far from the desired level regarding TARSİM, where up to 70% of the premium cost is covered by our state. I trust in your support for encouraging our farmers to register and insure."

Today, I just want to express this to you; you are the closest witnesses that we have never left our farmers alone for 23 years, as the Union of Turkish Agricultural Chambers. Inshallah, we will continue to stand by our farmers and producers. I thank you for your exceptional contributions to the development, strengthening, and progress of our agricultural sector. I want to express our gratitude to all farmers in our country through you. May God keep our companionship, solidarity, and affection everlasting.

Inshallah, we will work together with our Ministry against frost, drought, and all these challenges, providing all kinds of support we can, and we will overcome this ordeal swiftly, hopefully with minimal loss."
