“We evaluated it with our companies. Sample projects and suggestions were presented by the consultant firm to our members who wanted to benefit from the support within the scope of the project. Our companies involved in our project benefited greatly from the trainings. I believe that our project, which will enable the black fig, which is identified with Bursa, to open up to new markets, will also make a significant contribution to the agriculture of the product,” he added.

Akdan Danışmanlık firm representative and experienced consultant Nilüfer Arıak said, “We work with many different companies. Bursa is a province that comes after Istanbul in exports and its importance is surging. Our companies are already experienced and in good shape, but more market share is needed.”

“Within the scope of the project, we came together in trainings such as preparations before going to the field and market research methodologies. We have a shortcoming at the point of introducing Bursa black fig. We stand by our companies in this regard. We need to promote our products on digital platforms in the world, just like the USA does in walnuts,” she explained…
