Turkish Agricultural Sector Model (TASM/TAGRIS)

 

Studies on the Turkish Agricultural Sector Model (TASM) were initiated in 1981 in connection with a World Bank project. Within this framework, various trade strategies that could be applied during the transition period of the Turkish economy, as well as issues related to industrialization and growth, were examined. To be used in these examinations, a linear programming model based on the year 1979 was developed. This model has been utilized in various reports of the World Bank related to Turkey.

 

The acronym of the latest version of the Turkish Agricultural Sector Model is TAGRIS.

 

The TAGRIS Model (Eruygur, 2006; Eruygur and Çakmak, 2008) represents the third generation in the tradition of Turkish Agricultural Sector Models, following TASM (Kasnakoğlu and Bauer, 1988) and TASM-EU (Çakmak and Kasnakoğlu, 2002).
