Aegean Agricultural Products (Ege Tarım Ürünleri) Licensed Warehousing Inc. (ELİDAŞ) was founded in 2011 under the leadership of İzmir Commodity Exchange by 19 corporate partners to develop licensed warehousing system and cotton trade in Türkiye and offers an effective trading opportunity to the sector with the electronic product bills (ELUS) it has created.
ELİDAŞ, which is the first licensed warehouse for cotton products in our country, is also the first warehouse to generate product bills electronically. The pioneer of firsts, ELİDAŞ will continue its journey with a capacity of 17,000 tonnes in 2011, with a capacity of 35,000 tonnes.
The new warehouse built by ELİDAŞ with capacity increase will be put into service on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, at 14:00, with a ceremony to be held with the participation of a wide audience from the Ministry of Agriculture, Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB), company partners, representatives from the business and political world to farmers.
Stating that they achieved their goals by putting the first cotton licensed warehouse in the country into service in 2011, İzmir Commodity Exchange Assembly President and ELİDAŞ Chairman of the Board Barış Kocagöz said, “ELİDAŞ, today, is one of the most successful examples of ‘win-win’ ecosystems, with its 17-partner structure consisting of Izmir Commodity Exchange, other commodity exchanges, producer unions and financial institutions. We are very happy to see that we, as ELİDAŞ, are a role model in the realization of this system, as we are walking with much stronger steps on this road that we started in 2011.”
“At the point we have reached today, the success of ELİDAŞ is not limited to these; because ELiDAŞ has also achieved a great success in marketing the products in a modern way and establishing the new modern system. We will continue to serve at a much higher capacity and provide more opportunities to our producers with our new warehouse, as our capacity is about to be full, even before the harvest has not started yet in September. I invite all our stakeholders to our opening ceremony, which will be held on September 20,” he added…
