Contract production model in the agricultural sector is envisaged as the first step in the long term agricultural planning. Model which is common in developed countries over the years has been applied in Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean regions in Turkey, recently. However, it has not been extended to the other areas yet. Many legal arrangements in relation to Contract agriculture have been made to the present, however model is not able to meet the needs exactly. Especially the problems caused by companies which is the contract parties are leaving the producers in a difficult position. In this study, legal regulations and type of contracts in relation to contract agriculture examined and a new contract model which will eliminate shortcomings of the existing level model of production has been proposed. With this proposed model, It is envisaged to create a legal institution between the manufacturer and the company and by means of these institutions, it is planed creation of agricultural production support system and preparation of production plans based on the design in the frame of contract manufacturing agreements. In case of application of the new model, demands manufacturing and marketing of agricultural enterprises, also the supply of the high quality and sufficient quantity of raw material for firms will be fulfilled. Not only reducing marketing problems of manufacturers' but also raw materials supply in terms of their guarantee of firms present great importance in this study.
