VOICED : Turkish agriculture feels economic pain ahead of polls

Turkey's agricultural sector is in crisis, with farmers criticizing the ruling AKP for inadequate support. This discontent may affect the party's performance in upcoming elections. Economic growth has slowed, unemployment has risen, and poverty remains high, impacting farmers who traditionally supported the AKP. The agricultural industry, employing a significant portion of the population, contributes minimally to GDP, leading many farmers to abandon their profession.
