Abstract

European Union has undergone seven enlargement processes to date, and the European Union, which was established with six countries, has now become a large community of 27 countries. The enlargement process in the European Union is ongoing, and there are candidate and potential candidate countries for the Union. In most of the candidate countries for the European Union, the agricultural sector makes significant contributions to gross domestic product and employment. This study evaluates the agricultural potential of candidate and potential candidate countries for the European Union using the Promethee method. The study includes Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Serbia, and Türkiye, which are candidate countries for the Union, and Kosovo, which is a potential candidate country for the Union. The analysis determined that Türkiye has the highest agricultural potential.

Özet

Avrupa Birliği’nde bugüne kadar yedi kez genişleme süreci gerçekleşmiş, 6 ülke ile kurulan Avrupa Birliği bugün 27 ülkeli büyük bir topluluk halini almıştır. Avrupa Birliği’nde genişleme süreci devam etmekte olup Birliğe aday ve potansiyel aday ülkeler bulunmaktadır. Avrupa Birliği’ne aday ülkelerin çoğunda tarım sektörünün gayrisafi yurt içi hasılaya ve istihdama önemli katkıları bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Avrupa Birliği’ne aday ve potansiyel aday ülkelerin tarım potansiyelleri Promethee yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamına Birliğe aday ülkelerden Bosna Hersek, Karadağ, Kuzey Makedonya, Arnavutluk, Sırbistan ve Türkiye ile Birliğe potansiyel tek aday ülke olan Kosova alınmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda Türkiye tarım potansiyeli en yüksek ülke olarak belirlenmiştir.
