Ahmet Antalyalı: As the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK), we support producers with the aim of local production and consumption

Ahmet Abdullah Antalyalı, President of the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK), stated that they support producers with the aim of local production and consumption by ensuring that added value remains locally.

Indicating that the state attaches great importance to rural development grants, Antalyalı explained that they support 17 different sectors.

Emphasizing that animal husbandry is the first support area, Antalyalı said, “We support meat and milk production in animal husbandry. At the same time, we support investments in the food industry. We provide 50 percent to 70 percent grant support for investments up to 3 million euros.”

Both producers and consumers benefit…

Explaining that they support especially red meat processing facilities, slaughterhouses, shredding facilities, facilities related to milk and dairy products, Antalyalı noted, “We support our cold storage facilities. Fruit and vegetable storage facilities are also supported. There are supports for processing aquaculture products. You can think of rural development supports as follows. For example, when an apricot producing brother produces a product, he earns an income as primary production. If he covers it with a chocolate, he will earn more income.”
