After the "Symposium on Local Governments in the
Presidential Government System" held on January 9, 2019, the
issue of cannabis production in Türkiye was reconsidered, and
the "Report and Action Plan on Industrial Cannabis Cultivation
in Türkiye" was prepared, and legislative regulations and
incentives have been provided, and especially the production of
fibers, seeds and stems were supported.
On April 5, 2023, another important step was taken regarding
Article 1 of the Law Amending the Forestry Law and Certain Laws,
which was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force.
Within the scope of the relevant article, the cultivation of
cannabis to produce fiber, seeds and stems, and the production of
flowers and leaves for the production of pharmaceutical active
ingredients have become subject to the permission of the Ministry
of Agriculture and Forestry, and within this framework, the Turkish
Grain Board was assigned responsibility for the cultivation
