THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURE ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF NORTHERN CYPRUS

This survey research was conducted to investigate the impact of agriculture on the economic development of Northern Cyprus. Data were collected from scholarly articles, Journals, and the North Cyprus Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The analysis of the impact of agriculture on the economic development of North Cyprus is a challenging task, but critical considering the role agriculture plays in the economic development of countries and nations such as Northern Cyprus. The significant finding of this study shows that the agricultural sector of TRCN has a lot of untapped potentials. The reasons for the dearth or decline in the productivity of the agricultural sector is discussed and analysed in this project. A couple of recommendations, following the challenges facing the promising agricultural sector of Northern Cyprus included: increase in agricultural-based research in the Ministry of Agriculture and in higher educational levels, which will boost the industry a lot, and encourage the discovery of new, better, and improved agricultural practices; more foreign investors should be allowed to come into the agricultural sector of TRNC; The Government should set up a system to monitor and evaluate the success of implementation of funds allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources; The Introduction and Encouragement of Agriculture related courses such as Agricultural Economics in Colleges & Universities is also a sure way to alleviate the challenges agriculture is facing currently in TRNC; lastly but not the least, we recommend that the Government of TRNC should consider an increase in the overall financial allocation to the agricultural sector, to boost its activities, and encourage loan to farmers and further development in the agricultural sector.
