Although it has been a long time since the start of its implementation, "contractual agricultural production model" which especially began to spread in nineties, has crucial differences than other contractual agricultural production models. In the past, it had a large share in production with its application to sugar beet production. Today, the model has its applications in a large part of the industrial type agricultural products. In the beginning, this model included the public sector participation. Nowadays, the initial model has been replaced by a practice based on private contracts that have no legal foundation at all. In the transformed model, the public sector is excluded and the model is transformed into a Structure in which the main sides are small farmers and big agricultural enterprises. This structural transformation resulted in both the unjust treatment of small farmers and obstacles to the planning of agricultural production at macro level. This study aims at emphasizing the negative aspects that are created by the contractual agricultural production model.
