The demand for wheat rises annually in parallel with the wheat-growing areas remaining stable, as well as the pressure of water scarcity and climate change on agriculture making raising wheat productivity a top priority. The article examines the influence of natural, economic and social factors on wheat productivity. Considering the current challenges in the information base, the primary data regarding wheat production was obtained from the FTMMS (Farm Data Monitoring System) survey database to meet the research objective. Using survey data collected in the FTMMS database for 2021, an econometric evaluation and analysis of the primary determinants influencing wheat production in 14 regions where wheat is predominantly cultivated are conducted.
