Abstract :Agriculture has an important place in the Turkish economy. It is known that Turkey is the leading country in foreign trade in some agricultural products. The main purpose of this study is to test whether Turkey is a competitive country in agricultural products. In the study, Revealed Comparative Advantages (RCA) index was used to measure Turkey\'s competition in agricultural products. The study period covers the years 2000-2021. According to RCA index calculations, it was found that Turkey has disadvantages in 19 of 46 agricultural products and advantages in 27 of 46 agricultural products. These 27 agricultural products are divided into three as weak, medium and strong advantage levels. Accordingly, Turkey was found to have a weak advantage in 5 agricultural products, medium advantage in 9 agricultural products and strong advantages in 13 agricultural products.Keywords : Tarım Sektörü, Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler Endeksi, Türkiye
