In 1959, shortly after the European Economic Community was founded under the 1957 Treaty of Rome, Turkey applied for Associate Membership in the then six-member common market. By 1963, a path for integrating the economies of Turkey and the eventual European Union had been mapped. As with many trade agreements, agriculture posed difficult political hurdles, which were never fully cleared, even as trade barriers to other sectors were eventually removed and a Customs Union formed. This essay traces the influences the Turkey-European Union economic institutions have had on agricultural policies and the agriculture sector. An applied general equilibrium framework is used to provide estimates of what including agriculture under the Customs Union would mean for the sector and the economy. The paper also discusses the implications of fully aligning Turkey's agricultural policies with the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, as would be required under full membership.

Cabinet has on Wednesday approved the purchase of wheat from farmers next season for LE74.73 per bushel (or LE420 per ardeb), even if that price exceed global prices.
The decision was taken in order to support farmers and strategic goods.
“We aim to increase wheat cultivation by 200,000 acres to 3.5 million acres,” said Minister of Agriculture Adel al-Beltagy, adding that modern storage silos are being placed to ensure the quality of the grain and reduce wastage, which is up to 15 percent of the total eight million ton production.

The priorities for countries of the Region are clear: (i) intensify the emergency interventions on the ground through the agencies (most of them UN/global) that are presently providing direct assistance on food security on the ground; (ii) support the League of Arab States and other regional agencies in devising an effective and nimble mechanism for emergency interventions; and (iii) quickly revise existing regional food security and other development plans and identify (perhaps prioritize?) the ones that are truly regional in nature as they are the ones that have most suffered historically. Whatever the technical word for Subsidiarity is—its manifestation is quickly recognizable: solidarity among countries that all have something to gain collectively.

THE world's largest importer of wheat, Egypt, has long had a problem with its grain storage network. Grain has generally been stored in old-style jute bags in open sheds and there are significant losses to spoilage and pest damage. However, the beleaguered Middle Eastern nation is not in a position to make a large-scale investment in a network of permanent storage. An Australian business has played a role in creating a low-cost alternative, utilising the same silo bags that are commonly used by Australian growers.
