Hayrettin Uçak: Agricultural production will increase with TDİOSBs
Aegean Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Exporters’ Association (EYMSİB) Chairperson Hayrettin Uçak said, in a statement, “Global warming threatens production more and more every day, agricultural production areas are shrinking due to drought and urbanization.”
Stating that the world has an obligation to boost our agricultural production due to population growth, Uçak explained, “We can ensure sustainability in agricultural production with Specialized Organized Industrial Zones Based on Agriculture (TDİOSB), where R&D activities are intense and productivity reaches the highest level. In this way, Türkiye meets its domestic consumption and aims to export food products in the coming years.”
“As fresh fruit, vegetable and fruit and vegetable products sectors, we exported 5.5 billion dollars in 2022. As the Aegean Region, we contributed 1 billion 250 million dollars to this export. Another topic that we need to focus on in the agricultural sector is to enable young people to turn to the agricultural sector. We are also developing projects on this topic,” he added.
