Summary/Abstract: In World War II, wheat was one of the most important basic consumption items.The most important factor causing this situation was the natural disasters occurring in 1940-41. The grain production had constituted the most important export resources in Turkey. For this reason, many decisions about the production and the consumption of wheat were taken to prevent the increase in the bread price. Despite these decisions, supply-demand distributions had abnormally continued for many years. This case, in this study, was analyzed by using cobweb theory.
