The NBS quota increased constantly every year with the commission of the Council of Ministers not being increased for the first time this year. This decision disappointed the Cargill of the United States, who earned the largest gain in quota growth to date, while enjoying the beet-maker. The Milli Gazete, with insistent publications, took place beside the domestic producers and the industrialists and became a shareholder when the quotas were not "increased for the first time".

INSISTENT PUBLISHING GAVE RESULTS
Starch-based sugar (NBS), a major advantage for US global company Cargill, has hit the production of sugar beet the first time this year. The Council of Ministers has not increased NBŞ quotas, which have been continuously increasing for 15 years, for the first time this year. Despite the fact that the Council of Ministers has the authority to lower the NPL quota of 10 percent, this authority has always been used to increase it. The public sentiment that the National Newspaper produced with the headlines that it raised against the NBŞ kantalar which is increased every year in case the country does not need it finally came to a conclusion.
5 COMPANY 3 CONTROLLED BY CARGILL
While there are 5 NBŞ firms in Turkey with quota production, Cargill is controlling 3 of these 5 companies. So Cargill has about 90 percent of the country's NWS production.
Despite the fact that the quota increase was made by the Court of Accounts reports that the need of the country did not exist, NBŞ companies were given a quota of 1 million 370 thousand tons in total exclusively for the increases made between 2002 and 2016. Despite 10 percent of the quota, NBU companies were given extrinsic value, resulting in 5 companies, especially Cargill, with huge profits. Against this, public sugar factories suffered great damage, but sugar production also shrank.
The quota of starch-based sugars, which gives a big advantage to US global company Cargill, which has hit the production of sugar beet, has not been increased for the first time this year. The National Newspaper's public awareness of the NBŞ quotas, which was increased every year when the country was not in need, resulted. The Council of Ministers has not increased NBŞ quotas, which have been continuously increasing for 15 years, for the first time this year. The inability to increase NBC quotas led to a major disappointment in Cargill, while joyfully welcomed by the beet-maker.
Starch-based sugars obtained by chemical breakdown of corn starch have a 10 percent quota in total sugars. A 10 percent quota was not enough and a quota increase was made in the NBS every year by the decision of the Council of Ministers. Despite the fact that the Council of Ministers has the authority to lower the quota by 10 percent, this authority has never been used. Despite the fact that the quota of 10 NIS is well above most European countries, the Council of Ministers has used its authority to increase its competitiveness.
