Capital Advance to Subsidiary by Tarım Kredi
Türkiye Tarım Kredi Kooperatifleri Merkez Birliği (Tarım Kredi Central Union) transferred TL 1.25 billion as a capital advance to Tarımkredi Yağ Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., its wholly-owned subsidiary, for capital increase purposes in the first half of 2026. Despite this injection of funds, the company recorded a net loss of TL 469.9 million during the same period, according to the company's limited audited financial statements. This transfer, occurring at a time when farmers' financing and agricultural input needs are increasing, along with the company's interest expenses exceeding TL 1 billion, paints a striking picture of the utilization of cooperative resources.
Sales Revenue Failed to Cover Costs
According to the financial data dated June 30, 2026, Tarımkredi Yağ's first-half revenue stood at TL 3.103.6 billion. In contrast, the cost of sales reached TL 3.319.2 billion, surpassing total revenue. Consequently, the company incurred a gross loss of TL 215.6 million in the first six months of 2026. The organization, which had achieved a gross profit of TL 161.7 million in the same period of 2025, experienced a significant deterioration in its core operating margins due to increasing cost pressures.
Operating Loss More Than Doubled
With the inclusion of management, marketing, and other operational items to the gross loss, the company's operating loss surged to TL 1.062.6 billion in 2026, from TL 424.7 million in the first half of 2025. On the company's balance sheet, interest difference expenses, categorized under other operating expenses, were recorded at TL 673.5 million, while deferred financing expenses amounted to TL 110.2 million. The increasing financial pressure clearly illustrates the difficulties faced by the agricultural industry subsidiary in managing its borrowing and operational costs.
