Yes actually it looks good. But we are in trouble because of trade deficit, productivity growth,high inflation,income inequality and high interest. So if you are not belong to %17 percent of the population you are fu.kd.
There used to be economy taught to girls with the name "home economy". People should know where and when they can find products cheaper. Traveling in the metro today ladies were chatting and saying they pay 80₺ for a kilo of oranges. But they should know that they can find products cheaper when they go to the farmers market in the evening for the "akşam pazarı", it is like the "happy hour" when you can find the same product cheaper. Yesterday I bought cherry for 50₺/kilo in the evening and its day price was 70₺. And they shouldn't go for off season products and buy stuff that are in season. Ladies that I was sitting with seamed to be expats which did not really know economy. One of them was paying 8000 for heating gas still today saying it is cold and the other lady was as surprised as I was as it is absurd burning that much gas.

But if the economy was better not only would the prices be cheaper in supermarkets but also at farmer's markets.

I seriuosly dont see the point here. In Turkiye today one of every four child has malutrition problem and you think that is because "ladies" dont go to “evening market”. I dont know what to say. Either you dont care about those kids and their families or you think that they deserve it because they dont go to farmers market.

You can't attribute malnutrition problem to just one cause but not knowing how to manage the home economy is a big one of the causes. The other big cause is the inefficiencies in the supply chain of food that causes fluctuation in food prices. A lot of the inefficiencies are caused by misbehavior of merchants who need to be made to behave and comply with rules and regulations. There is the fresh produce wholesalers' regulation which is expected to come into power before long. This law is going to bring stringent order to the market. Also much heavier penalties to wrongdoers are in order too. You can't explain a merchant stockpiling 350 tons of lemons and causing the tripling of the prices which happened two years ago by good business acumen; it is simply crime committed brazenly that must be punished severely. This is obviously hostility towards Türkiye by the foreign backers of the opposition who wanted to pressure the government. But such difficulties will be ironed out going forward.

I dont know your background but my family are farmers for three generations now. So before you find some random shit online please dont write anything about this subject. You appearently dont have a single practical experience about it. After shit load of politic decisions Akp fuc.d agriculture. That is it. And you seriously believe that supply chain issues are just popped out. There were control mechanism before and who do you think removed those,German Christian Democrats?You are talking about misbehaved merchants who happens to become rich after this goverment policies. You blame everyone but leave out the one responsible . That looks like a intentional choice. And I dont respect those kind of ideology. For me this is just sign of moral corruption. I cant make sense out of it for you. Sorry.

I don't find random shit online for any of my posts.

Farmers' gripe comes from the fact that they don't find the same level of wealth they found when farming had a bigger percentage of share in the economy. It is the same in the entire world, farmers a poorer than they were before as people have more needs that they spend their money on than they used to do and paying for food has a smaller share.

I told you. I know one or two things about being a farmer not because I read sth. on the internet but I have a first hand experience. And you still keep explaining my world,my problems to me. Like you accused people not going to farmers market without listening their problems. So mate I am sorry. This is not an appealing discussion anymore. You are not listening but you expect me to listen to you. We started this with my question about goverment debt. You presented sth. and I accepted that you are right. I can do that. Clearly you are not cabable of doing that. So be safe and happy. I leave it here.

You don't even understand my words dude. Farmers market is the weekly market set up in the street. They are not farmers but merchants.

I may not be farmer myself but I had a chat with a farmer last summer and listened to what he said about how they feel about being a farmer. He was saying that farmers could start a living for their children in the past but they can not afford a living for their children in today's world, they can not marry off their children as a farmer basically. But it is the way of the world, farm lands get smaller per farmer and they can not live of of it anymore. And he also complained about the new law that you have to rent your land to others if you will not be farming more than a couple of years in a row. They basically want to hold the land empty and use it a political pressure to the economy, which is not acceptable.

You are making discussion personal. Your belonging to a farmer family does not mean you are knowledgeable about farming or being objective or anything, it only means you are partial rather than impartial.

Let me see I got this right. You had a chat with a farmer so you think you figure this out better than me although I spend my 45 years with living as a member of a farmer family . Thanks to your post I dont even have to respond to that. You gave the answer yourself dude.

Maybe you do plowing better but have you noticed you haven't put forward a single argument about farming but only said you are in farming. But never mind I won't be responding to you any more.

I got some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that it seems that Turkey's growth has started to slow down to 2%. Still, the good news is that the reopening of the TOMTAS factory in Kayseri has led to the area becoming an aerospace hub, with 11 new aerospace firms having been established in the region.

This should hopefully help alleviate the overpopulation of Western Anatolia and redistribute some of the nation's uneven economic growth, ultimately benefiting the economy in the long run.

Progress is progress, but its still only a drop in the bucket. Infrastructure and geographics make western Anatolia and the coastal regions always economically more attractive vs. landlocked inner Anatolia and Eastern Anatolia.

Nice developments, but I would like to know how much toxins and such are present in the trouts compare this to Norwegian and Faeroe islands trout.

Very important that it's sustainable and toxins levels and such are kept low.

Trillion dollar economy, but 3 usually biggest areas of spending get less than 8% of GDP. Our endemic issues continue with no end in sight. How do we even plan to increase military spending to 5%? Not like we can cut from education and health spending like others plan to.
