According to BirGün's report, producers suffered losses on many products from sunflower to hazelnut due to purchase prices and input costs; the newspaper reported that the state debt arising from the gap between the support envisaged in the Agriculture Law and the support actually paid amounted to approximately 2 trillion lira.

The debt arising from the difference between the support envisaged by the Agricultural Law and the amount actually paid has been recorded. Producers selling their land and reducing cultivation have also begun to change the production pattern. The supports, which switched to a coefficient system in 2025, eroded against inflation.
