Rice yield increased 2,7 ton/ha in 1927 to more than 5 ton/ha in 1999. But some farmers can get more than 10 ton/ha paddy yield. Thus, we can say that there is potential to increase rice paddy yield more than 10 ton/ha in near future. Impovement in soil preparation, planting methods, irrigation, rice cultivars, fertiliser application, plant protection, certified seed usage, harvest, and drying conditions help Turkish rice compete with imported rice interns of yield and quality. But it is difficult to follow these new technologies by small rice farmers.
