In Tunceli, the shepherd shortage faced by small livestock producers remains unresolved, despite monthly wages reaching up to 150,000 Turkish Lira.
The shepherd crisis is escalating. Despite wages rising to as much as 150,000 Turkish Lira per month, producers are unable to find the shepherds they need. Breeders, forced to take on the responsibility of caring for their animals themselves, warn that the increasing costs of labor, feed, and medicine could lead to a significant decline in the number of small livestock.
Last year, shepherd salaries reached up to 130,000 TL per month, but this year they are approaching the 150,000 TL mark. Despite this, producers in Tunceli complain that they cannot find shepherds to employ. Producers, stating that they are working with Afghan nationals, say that this is only a temporary solution.
In Tunceli, cattle breeders find it difficult to find shepherds, despite the high wages. In the region, where monthly wages range from 100 thousand to 150 thousand lira, necessities such as food, smoking and housing are also covered by producers. Industry representatives, on the other hand, point out that the labor problem, as well as the increased costs of feed and medicine, make it increasingly difficult to raise livestock.
In Tunceli, shepherd wages, which reached up to 130,000 Turkish Lira last year, have risen to 150,000 Turkish Lira this year, but producers still cannot find the shepherds they are looking for.
