Internal competence in agricultural activities in today's outdoor trade open world is possible both by the advantages of trade in both production and consumption stages. There is a need in order to plan the future planning of the seed production and foreign trade that can adapt to the developing production technologies and to bring high efficiency and to direct the investments towards the sector. Turkey's seed foreign trade deficit decreased since the early 2000s, which is one of the important producer countries. Turkey's seed import coverage ratio of exports in 2015 was 59%, this rate is increased further in 2016. It was intended to analyse this change due to export destinations and time. Turkey's seed export to trade partner countries was investigated with rational changes for 2000-2017 years. After this evaluation, following exclusion of Iraq, which is one of the main trade partners, due to data availability, Turkey's seed export value for 2000-2015 was analysed for 9 importer countries with panel data analysis. Applied gravity model analysis results indicated that rising in importer country's per capita income and population and devaluation of Turkish Lira against Dollar appeared as factors rising seed export revenue. In addition, the rise in seed production in Turkey, and European Union membership status of importer country affected inter-period difference of Turkish seed export revenue in a positive direction.
