Turkey's agriculture sector sees unprecedented growth in productivity, boosting GDP.
The study looked at how productive the Turkish economy has been in recent years. They found that the total factor productivity (TFP) has been growing well, especially in the 2000s. This growth in TFP, rather than just adding more resources, has been a key factor in the country's economic growth. The researchers also looked at TFP in different sectors like agriculture, industry, and services. They discovered that TFP growth has been high in all sectors, with agriculture showing the most improvement. Interestingly, agriculture had the highest TFP growth in the 2000s compared to industry and services, but this trend has slowed down in recent years.
