This study provides a comprehensive search of the agricultural and rural
landscape in Turkey using technical analysis and statistical data. The research is
focused on land use patterns, agricultural holding sizes and rural infrastructure. In
Turkey, according to land size distribution agricultural holdings were concentrated
in the range of 20-49 decares. It has been seen that the mechanization tendency
is the most in this group. The ownership of 2-5 parcels is highest in the same
enterprise size group, and the 6-9 parcel range followed this value. The share of
agricultural holdings that small from 50 decares in the total number of enterprises
is 64.8% and the share of these enterprises in the total agricultural land has been
determined as 21.34%. Considering the land-use status, it is seen that 1.6% of the
arable land is not used. The findings underscore the challenges posed by small
agricultural holdings and fragmented land ownership and highlight the need for
strategic interventions to increase productivity and sustainable development.
Implementation of projects for rural infrastructure gains importance in preventing
uncontrolled migration of rural population to the city.
