A Turkish agricultural columnist compared one producer's January and October 2026 costs. Diesel rose from 58 to 98 TL per litre (about 69%) and feed from 680 to 950 TL (about 40%), while the beef carcass price stayed at 585 TL/kg.
The figures come from a single producer, not a national average.
Higher diesel and feed costs squeeze Turkish cattle feeders' margins when meat prices are flat, which can reduce herd finishing and feed demand. The effect is local to Turkey and based on one producer's data.
