Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Permits Acquisition Services

Statutory Scope & Legal Architecture

Agricultural inputs, breeding animals, planting seeds, chemical and organic fertilizers, veterinary drugs, and soil conditioners are classified as strategic commodities subject to intense state biosafety regulation. Under Statutory Decree Law No. 5996 and annual import communiqués issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, commercial clearance cannot occur without an officially validated Control Document (Kontrol Belgesi) or Import Approval (İthal Ön İzni).

Topraklar’s Agricultural Permits Division interfaces directly with the central Directorates in Ankara (Bitkisel Üretim, Gıda ve Kontrol, Hayvancılık Genel Müdürlüğü) and provincial agricultural directorates to process registrations before vessels or trucks arrive at the customs frontier, avoiding port quarantine storage charges.

Key Operational Competencies:

• Seed & Propagating Material Import Permits: Sourcing variety registration (Çeşit Tescil) and OECD Seed Scheme certification from the Seed Registration and Certification Center (TTSM).
• Fertilizer Licensing & GTS Registration: Filing for chemical/organic fertilizer registration and tracking barcodes under the Ministry Fertilizer Tracking System (GTS).
• Veterinary Medicinal & Feed Additive Clearances: Preparing dossiers for premixes, enzymes, and veterinary pharmaceuticals ensuring strict compliance with EU harmonization limits.
• Plant Quarantine (Zirai Karantina) Supervision: Field customs agents overseeing port fumigation, weed seed inspection, and phytosanitary certificates matching at sea/land borders.
