The Food, Agriculture and Livestock Sector Board has been continuing its activities since the beginning of 2022. Our main goals are to address the basic need of society, food, in the light of current data, to evaluate and improve sector activities in a multifaceted way, to identify potential or existing problems and to present them to the competent authorities with solution suggestions and follow up. Strengthening the social and commercial ties among our members through the meetings, fairs, domestic and international trips and similar events we organize is within the mission of our sector board. Agriculture, Livestock and Food Industry is an important activity area for our country's economy as well as for social life. Among the agricultural sectors, livestock farming is the production model with the highest potential for creating added value. In addition to the meat, milk and other animal products industry, livestock farming also contributes greatly to the economy by creating employment areas with pharmaceutical, feed and equipment industries directly based on livestock. In livestock enterprises, feed costs generally constitute 70% of the expenses. While 80% of the roughage need in developed countries is obtained from meadows and pastures, this rate is around 40% in our country. In recent years, the development of cattle stock is proportional to the increase in industrial meat consumption, and the decrease in the demand of the young population for sheep meat has caused the slowdown in small cattle production. Our total animal stock of 16 million cattle and 54 million sheep produces 1 million tons of red meat and 20 million tons of milk annually. In contrast to the 10-15% excess milk production at the point of consumption, we have a 20% deficit in red meat supply. While the excess milk produced according to need is processed and exported in the form of milk powder, our red meat deficit of around 20% is met through import methods.
