Abstract: In this study, we investigated the economic factors which have influence on the import demand for vegetal oil and products in Turkey. The import demand for vegetal oil and products in Turkey has been influenced by the national agricultural policy and foreign trade policy applied. It was considered as a function of the factors such as the amount of delayed import, the average real price of national oil and products, the rate of exchange for US Dollar, the trend factor, the real production value of vegetal oil and products, the real value of national demand and grand national product. The parameters were estimated through regression analysis. The data for this research cover the period from 1981 to 2001. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that the import demand for vegetaloil and its products was mostly influenced by the amount of lagged import, the rate of exchange for US Dollar and trend factor.
