Özet
The purpose of this study is to reveal the similarities and differences between regions in Turkey in terms of live sheep and mutton prices. in this context, the 12 statistical regions in Turkey were compared with multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS) method based on live sheep (sheep and rams), mutton (yearling and sheep) and lamb prices. The price data used in the study covered the prices received by the sheep farmers and these data were obtained from Turkish Statistical Institute. in the first dimension of the multidimensional scaling analysis, the most important separating regions were determined as Istanbul and Central Anatolia. Istanbul, Central Anatolia, West Marmara, Middle East Anatolia, Northeast Anatolia and Eastern Black Sea regions differed from the general trend. These regions are generally the places where the expected parallel relationship between the number of sheep and carcass meat prices is not realized. in terms of live sheep and carcass meat prices, Aegean, East Marmara, Western Anatolia, Mediterranean, Western Black Sea, and Southeastern Anatolia were determined as similar regions. However, there are regions such as Istanbul, Central Anatolia and West Marmara, which differ from the general trend. High carcass meat prices in the regions where the number of sheep are high is one of the notable points. The second important point that draws attention is that the regions are not ranked similar in terms of live sheep and carcass mutton prices. As a result, Turkey has problems in accessing reliable data for the mutton production and supply. A well-functioning database is needed for decision-makers to guide sector-related policies.
