Dear Friends,
After a long preparation period with great enthuasism, we as TSUAB and TURKTED held the first World Seed Congress of the second Century of ISF History, between 19-21 May 2025 in Istanbul at the International Congress Center (ICC).
After the unforgettable Congress we organized in Antalya in 2009, we have rewritten our name in the history of the ISF Congress as Türkiye with the participation of more than 1500 delegates this year, with the intense interest shown in sponsorships, B2B tables and booth areas.
From the feed backs received so far, I see that we have successfully completed this great organization.
After this successfull event, we handed over the ISF Congress Flag, which was transferred to our country in Rotterdam during the World Seed Congress in 2024, to the ISF Secretariat.
We would like to thank our Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Mr. İbrahim Yumaklı and his team, our Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy and his team, ISF President Mr. Arthur Santosh Attavar, Secretary General Mr. Michael Keller and his team, the entire NOC team, especially Burak Gönen and Hamdi Çiftçiler and our TSÜAB Secretariat, to the Foodback team, which organized the ISF Bootcamp, which was held for the first time within the scope of the Congress, to the TAGYAD President İsmail Uğural and his team, who provided support in coordination with the IFAJ)
I would like to thank everyone who made this Congress a success.
Let’s meet again in Lisbon at the 2026 World Seed Congress.
