description In international trade and economics, comparative advantage index is one of the key instruments for measuring competitiveness. This study examined the static and dynamic agricultural sector competitiveness of Turkey by the RCA and NRCA indices. The dynamics of the competitiveness indices were estimated by OLS regression, Markov matrices, and trend analysis. The study, further, analyzed the consistency between the RCA, NRCA, and RSCA indices. The results revealed that, Turkey, generally obtains strong competitiveness in the crop sectors whilst it has weak competitiveness in livestock and processed food sectors. Turkey achieved competitiveness in 6 and 13 sectors, respectively. It revealed a convergent pattern of agricultural competitiveness with high stability of the uncompetitive and weak competitive sectors. Turkey’s agricultural export strategy and competitiveness pattern are based on natural-resource-intensive and traditional agricultural products. Turkey obtained the gaining trends in 6 and 16 agricultural sectors, respectively. The RCA, NRCA, and RSCA indices are strongly consistent in identifying the degrees of competitiveness and in determining whether or not the country obtains competitiveness.
