Grain Purchase Process
Grain is one of the most important elements of the agricultural sector, and the wheat and barley purchase process in Turkey carries significant importance. Managing this process effectively and efficiently plays a critical role in ensuring producers receive the reward for their labor and supporting the national economy.
From Whom Does TMO Purchase Wheat/Barley?
The Turkish Grain Board (TMO) makes wheat and barley purchases from producers who produce in licensed areas and are registered in the Farmer Registration System (ÇKS), as well as from cooperatives and unions of which the producers are partners. In this way, only the products of farmers who perform registered and traceable production are included in the purchase process.
What Are the General Matters That Producers Should Pay Attention to in the Purchase Process?
Our producers who wish to deliver their products to TMO workplaces or licensed warehouses with which TMO has an agreement must;
- Update their ÇKS information,
- Make an appointment at the address "https://randevu.tmo.gov.tr" or via "e-Government" or from TMO workplaces,
- Open a TMO-specific account at banks with which TMO has an agreement,
- Come to the purchase points on the appointment day with their product, along with their T.R. Identity Card, bank card, or bank account numbers,
- In case they cannot attend the appointment, provide a notary power of attorney to the person who will deliver the product,
- In the event of the death of the producer registered in ÇKS, the heir determined by the certificate of inheritance or one of the heirs (provided that they obtain a power of attorney from a notary) must apply to the TMO workplace to make an appointment,
- For licensed warehouses, open an investment account that allows ELÜS (Electronic Product Voucher) transaction orders from the bank and apply to the nearest
- Turkish Product Specialized Exchange (TÜRİB) agencies with identity document, investment account, and residence address information to become a member of TÜRİB.
- From which banks can a bank card be obtained?
The contracted banks where accounts can be opened are; Akbank, Albaraka Türk, Denizbank, Halkbank, İş Bankası, Şekerbank, Vakıflar Bankası, Yapı ve Kredi Bankası, and Ziraat Bankası. Producers must have their bank card/bank account number/bank passbook related to the TMO account they will open at any of these banks with them while delivering their products. - Do those who previously had a bank card in the name of TMO at the banks determined by TMO need to open a new account and get a new card again?
Our producers who have previously opened a TMO-specific account at banks with which TMO has an agreement do not need to open a new account again. However, the active or passive status of previously opened TMO-specific accounts should be checked through the bank, and passive accounts should be reactivated by contacting the bank. - Do those who have a special account/card from the banks with which TMO has an agreement need to open a new account and get a card in the name of TMO again?
- Producers who have a special account at the banks with which TMO has an agreement can carry out their payment transactions through those cards by having the TMO account defined to those bank cards as well.
- What is ÇKS and is it necessary to have a ÇKS registration for the purchase?
The Farmer Registration System is a system that contains the land assets where producers perform farming. TMO makes its purchases from producers registered in the Farmer Registration System (ÇKS) and from cooperatives and unions of which the producers are partners. - Where is ÇKS information obtained from?
It must be obtained from provincial/district directorates of agriculture and forestry. ÇKS information is obtained online from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Farmer Registration System while making an appointment.
What does updating ÇKS registration mean and what happens if it is not updated?
The amount of product that producers will give to TMO is obtained by multiplying the land size belonging to the producers by the district-based yield values determined by the yield estimation commissions established under the coordination of provincial and district directorates of agriculture and forestry. Therefore, a change in the land size of our producers within 1 year can change the amount of product that can be given to TMO.
If the producer obtains the ÇKS registration after the TMO purchases have started, can they give their product to TMO?
The TMO Appointment System works integrated and updated with our Ministry's ÇKS system, and if the producer has a ÇKS registration in our Ministry's system, the producer can make an appointment regardless of the registration time. - Can products be delivered without an appointment?
Products cannot be delivered to TMO and licensed warehouses with which TMO has an agreement without making an appointment. - Is there anything necessary to be done before the appointment?
To make an appointment, first of all, the Farmer Registration System registration for the product to be delivered must be made at the Provincial/District Directorates of Agriculture and Forestry at the beginning of the production season, and if there is a change, the ÇKS registration must be updated before making an appointment. - How to make an appointment?
The appointment process will be done with the T.R. identity number for natural persons and with the tax number for legal entities with a ÇKS certificate. Producers can make their appointments in two ways.
1- Method of making an appointment over the internet; In this method, the system main page is accessed by clicking the “PRODUCT PURCHASE APPOINTMENT” button at the address "http://www.tmo.gov.tr" or from the address "http://randevu.tmo.gov.tr". Access to the system is provided by writing the TR or Tax number on the main page or via the “e-Government” button.
2-Method of making an appointment by applying to TMO workplaces; In case of application to TMO workplaces by presenting identity, the appointment is made by TMO personnel.

It is not possible to make or cancel an appointment by calling the relevant units of TMO on the phone. - On which days can appointments be made?
Appointments are given for every day except Sundays and official holidays.
- How should the “Product to be Delivered” field be filled in the system?
In the "Product to be Delivered" field, an appointment can only be made for the selected product, and also field and production information belonging to the selected product registered in ÇKS can be seen. For example; if a producer with a wheat registration in ÇKS selects the wheat product in the "Product to be Delivered" field, they can only make an appointment for wheat and can only see the information belonging to the wheat registered in ÇKS.
While making an appointment, does the producer have the right to choose in determining the purchase center and purchase amount within their own region in the system?
Workplaces where the product can be delivered according to the district defined in ÇKS are automatically seen on the screen in the appointment system. In this context, an appointment can be made for the purchase point to be chosen from the purchase centers appearing only for the producer in the system. - Does the type or variety of wheat also need to be specified while making an appointment for “wheat” in the system?
In appointment processes, there is no distinction between bread and durum wheat in the "Product to be Delivered" section; only a wheat appointment is given. - What is the minimum purchase amount?
Producers will be able to make an appointment for a minimum of 5 tons. However, if the total production amount registered in ÇKS is over 5 tons and the remaining amount for the last appointment is less than 5 tons, they can make an appointment once. For example; a producer who has 14 tons of wheat in ÇKS will make 2 appointments as 6 tons + 6 tons, and for the remaining 2 tons right, they will be able to make a 2-ton appointment only for once. Appointments will not be given as 1 ton + 1 ton. - How many appointments can a producer make?
A producer can make a maximum of 3 appointments on different days. If 1 of these 3 appointments is attended or canceled, a new appointment can be made; a 4th appointment cannot be made without attending or canceling 1 of the appointments. - Can appointments be made for two different days at the same time?
If the amount of product they can sell is more than 5 tons, appointments can be made for two different days at the same time. - Can more than one appointment be made for different products within one day?
A producer can make an appointment for only 1 product at one workplace in 1 day. A producer's different product will not be taken on the same day, and also an appointment cannot be made for a different workplace. - Can the cancellation of the appointment be done how many days before the appointment or on the same day?
Appointments can be canceled via the internet until 18.00 one day before the appointment date, through the appointment cancellation link in the SMS sent to them, or by applying to the workplaces. In applications made to the workplace, a petition will be taken provided that identity is declared. Appointment cancellation cannot be made within the same day. - How many appointment cancellation rights are there?
There is no limit on the right to cancel an appointment. - Can an appointment be made again in cases where appointments are not attended?
If taken appointments are not attended twice without being canceled, an appointment will not be taken from the system again; appointments taken for later dates will also be canceled. - Can a producer who did not go to their first appointment take all of their product to their second appointment?
They will be able to deliver as much product as the appointment they took for their second appointment. For their remaining product, they will be able to deliver their product by making a new appointment. - Who can give the product in case of death?
In the event that the producer registered in ÇKS dies, if the heir determined by the certificate of inheritance or one of the heirs (provided that they obtain a notarized power of attorney from other heirs) applies to our Institution, appointment and purchase processes will be carried out through the said heir. - Will the taken appointments be posted at the purchase centers?
