Eğitim ve Yayın Dairesi Başkanlığı

What Eğitim ve Yayın Dairesi Başkanlığı does

Eğitim ve Yayın Dairesi Başkanlığı is the Education and Publication Department (directorate) of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (T.C. Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı), headquartered at Üniversiteler Mahallesi, Dumlupınar Bulvarı No: 161, Çankaya, Ankara. As a government entity, it serves as the official education and knowledge-dissemination arm of the ministry, with the mandate to deliver agricultural training, publications, and extension services to farmers, rural communities, and agricultural stakeholders across Turkey. It is a sub-unit of the parent ministry (not a standalone private company), operates within a Turkish government state-entity legal structure, and reports under the central ministry hierarchy.

The directorate's product portfolio is built around an integrated digital ecosystem. Core platforms include Tarım Akademi (an e-learning platform at akademi.tarimorman.gov.tr delivering vocational training and certification in agriculture, livestock, forestry, and food safety), Tarım TV (a video/broadcast platform at tarimtv.gov.tr distributing agricultural programming and public service announcements in Turkish, English, and Arabic), Dijital Tarım Kütüphanesi (a digital library at kutuphane.tarimorman.gov.tr providing access to agricultural publications and research materials), Türk Tarım (a news portal), and Orman Bülten (a forestry bulletin publication). Distribution is omnichannel: digital platforms for connected users, Tarım TV broadcasting for rural audiences without internet access, and physical outreach via the ministry's provincial and district directorates (Taşra Birimleri) across Turkey. Official mobile applications are also published on Google Play and the Apple App Store. The directorate is ISO/IEC 27001 certified for information security management.

The directorate generates no commercial revenue. All operations are funded by public sector appropriations through the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's budget, and all services are provided free of charge to end users. Its customer base consists of Turkish farmers, rural communities, and agricultural cooperatives/organizations, with the parent ministry as the sole institutional funder. The directorate maintains a cross-ministry collaboration with the Ministry of Health (Sağlık Bakanlığı) on food safety training. Scale references disclosed pertain to the broader ministry (e.g., 140 million tons record agricultural production, 167.6 billion TL 2026 agricultural support budget, 184 billion m³ water storage, 23.37 million ha forest area, 120 billion TL TMO producer payments) rather than to the directorate itself.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA): U.S. federal agency that funds and disseminates agricultural research, education, and extension — the closest structural analog to the Turkish directorate's role as the official education and publication arm of a national agriculture ministry.
• Cooperative Extension System (USDA Extension): U.S. public agricultural extension network delivering training, publications, and field outreach to farmers — directly comparable to the directorate's combination of Akademi, Tarım TV, and Taşra Birimleri-based provincial outreach.
• Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) - Agricultural Extension Division: India's apex body for agricultural education, research, and extension; operates national e-learning platforms and extension publications analogous to the directorate's mandate within the Turkish ministry.

Others

• Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture: Non-profit that designs and disseminates farmer training programs in developing markets — comparable as an agricultural training and extension content provider, though privately funded rather than government-mandated.
• Coursera (Agricultural & Agronomy courses): Global commercial e-learning platform offering agricultural and agronomy courses; comparable as a digital learning distribution model, though not a direct government extension competitor.

Broad incumbents

• CGIAR: Global agricultural research consortium producing publications, training, and digital knowledge products for farmers and policymakers; comparable as a public-sector agricultural knowledge disseminator.
• FAO Capacity Development Division: UN agency delivering agricultural education, training resources, and knowledge dissemination at a global scale — comparable in mission (agricultural knowledge transfer) but operating at supranational scope.

Emerging players

• e-Devlet (Turkish e-Government Gateway): Turkey's central e-government platform already hosting some Ministry of Agriculture services (E-Hizmetler); comparable as a government digital distribution channel the directorate's platforms could be consolidated into or compete against for user attention.
