“…When examining the possible causes of food price increases, reasons such as drought and climate change, upward movements in oil prices, stockpiling, and highprofit margins of intermediary service providers can be cited. Especially during the pandemic, consumers grabbed food in panic and it was observed that sellers, using this situation as an opportunity, increased prices excessively (Cavlak and Selvi, 2022). In Table 2, which is organized according to FAO data, it can be seen that both the rates of undernourishment and food insecurity increased significantly with the pandemic after 2019.…”

“…Considering the fact that most of the increase in inflation is due to the increase in food prices, central banks should prioritize the necessary measures to prevent the growth of food price bubbles in the current period (Varlık, 2021). These increases in the prices of foods that are vital to consumers cause consumers to become victims and their quality of life to decrease (Cavlak and Selvi, 2022). For this reason, it has become even more important to take permanent measures such as increasing support for direct production to increase agricultural and livestock production (Kandemir, 2011), strengthening producer organizations and producer cooperatives by reducing middlemen in agricultural product markets (Kıymaz and Saçlı, 2008), contract farming, creating social safety nets to cushion income, production and price shocks, and access to digital national markets (Cariappa et al, 2021).…”

One of the most important impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic that broke out in China in the last months of 2019 was on the agricultural sector and, consequently, on the food supply. This situation manifested itself in an increase in food insecurity and food prices in countries around the world, and rising food prices highlighted the risk of undernourishment. The study attempted to statistically represent the impact of the pandemic on food security and food price increases in countries around the world. The study first compared the pre-pandemic and pandemic periods in terms of three basic indicators, such as food security, food prices, and undernourishment rates, and examined whether there was a significant difference between the two periods. Within the context of these three indicators, an attempt was then made to determine whether the negative impact of the pandemic was more severe in low-income countries. The results of the analysis showed that food prices, food insecurity, and undernourishment increased during the pandemic and that these impacts were relatively greater in developing countries. Therefore, the financial burden of these negative impacts associated with food supply was greater in developing countries.

“…Currently, there are some studies being conducted on food consumer price anomalies in Türkiye and other countries (e.g. Özbek, 2023;TurkStat, 2023a;Letta et al 2022;Selvi and Cavlak, 2021;King, 2015;Cavalcanti et al 2015). However, there is a scarcity of research on crop products producer price anomalies.…”

Currently, some studies on food consumer price anomalies are being conducted in Turkey and other countries. However, the research on crop products producer price anomalies is limited. The purpose of this paper is to identify producer price anomalies for selected crop products in Turkey over the last ten years (2013-2022) using quarterly and annual Compound Growth Rates (CGR) of the monthly price level, which allows for price monitoring after accounting for the effects of seasonality and inflation on prices, making it an ideal way to use prices as the basis of an early warning indicator. According to the results, moderately or abnormally high prices were measured in all years except for 2015. Sunflower, sugar beet, potatoes and pistachio were the crop products abnormally high prices were measured more than one year in this period. Abnormally high prices were measured in the years of 2014 and 2021 at most. And, no abnormally high prices were measured in the years of 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. When the last three year situations of crop products with moderately or abnormally high producer prices were examined, wheat and maize were the crops with moderately high prices, and sunflower and sugar beet were the crops with abnormally high prices in 2020. In 2021, only the price of wheat was moderately high; cotton, maize, and barley were the crops with abnormally high prices. No abnormally high prices were measured in 2022, and the prices of wheat, cotton, tomatoes, maize, and potatoes were moderately high.

COVID-19 salgını ülkelerin sağlık sistemleri ile birlikte ekonomilerini de önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir. Pandemi döneminde uygulanan sokağa çıkma yasakları sonucunda ülke üretiminin azalması ve ekonomik dengelerin bozulması yüksek enflasyonu beraberinde getirmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı; COVID-19 pandemisinin görüldüğü Mart 2020 döneminden başlayarak, pandemi önlemlerinin kaldırıldığı dönem olan Mayıs 2022 tarihine kadarki süreçte Türkiye’de aylık olarak COVID-19 verileri ile Tüketici Fiyat Endeksi (TÜFE) ve bazı mallarda olan fiyat değişimlerinin karşılaştırılmasının yapılmasıdır. Araştırma sonucunda Türkiye’de pandemi sürecinde vaka sayılarının artması ile birlikte enflasyonda da artış gerçekleşmiştir. Türkiye'de pandemi verilerinin aylık değişimi incelendiğinde görülüyor ki, vaka sayısındaki ve ölüm sayısındaki en yüksek artış 2020 Aralık ayında gerçekleşmiştir. TÜFE’de bir önceki yılın aynı ayına göre değişim ve on iki aylık ortalamalara göre değişim sürekli artma eğiliminde olmuştur. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre Türkiye’de enflasyon oranının pandeminin sonlarına doğru yükseldiği görülmüştür. TÜFE’nin artmasında ulusal ve uluslararası diğer faktörler de etkili olması muhtemeldir, lakin bu ayrı bir çalışmanın konusu olarak incelenebilir.
