Abstract

The aim of this research was to forecast Turkish fishery sector for an outlook of 2024-2028 period and introduce the growth trends in order to evaluate the fishery sector with policy implications. The fishery production, net export, processed product and per capita consumption series of 1981-2023 were used in projections and modelled with double exponential smoothing method. It was forecasted that production would increase by 13.9 % and reach 1,151,226 tons by 2028 with respect to 2023. Accordingly, net export would increase by 42.6 % and reach 237,989 tons by 2028 with respect to 2023. The forecasting results showed that processed product would reach 151,595 tons whereas per capita consumption would be 7.62 kg by 2028. The rise of both production and net export is expected to be resulted from aquaculture. On the other hand, slight change in processed product was caused by decreasing share of catching and rise of export. This study concluded that aquaculture support policy of Türkiye has significant impact and aquaculture would be key element of fishery production and net export in the near future. Therefore, the continuity and improvement of these policies is of vital importance.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye’de balıkçılık sektörüne ilişkin 2024-2028 dönemi tahmini ve gelişmeler ışığında sektörün değerlendirilmesidir. Balıkçılık sektöründe 1981-2023 dönemine ilişkin üretim, net ihracat, işlenen ürün ve kişi başına tüketim verileri kullanılmış olup, seriler çift üstel düzeltme yöntemi ile modellenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre üretimin 2028 yılında 2023 yılına göre % 13.9 artarak 1,151,226 tona ulaşacağı, net ihracatın ise % 42.6 göre artarak 237,989 tona ulaşacağı beklenmektedir. Model tahminleri 2028 yılında işlenen ürün miktarının 151,595 ton ve kişi başı tüketim miktarının 7.62 kg olacağını göstermektedir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre üretim ve net ihracattaki artışın yetiştiricilik kaynaklı olup, işlenen üründeki değişim ise üretimde avcılığın payının azalması ve ihracatın artmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Türkiye’de yetiştiricilik desteklerinin önemli etkisinin olduğunu ve yetiştiriciliğin, yakın gelecekte balık üretimi ve net ihracatın temel unsuru olacağını göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, destekleme politikalarının devamlılığı ve geliştirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.
