DUE TO HIGH INTEREST, DISTRIBUTION CONTINUES 7/24
While the support of 10 thousand tons of wheat to 911 farmers and 9 tons of barley seeds to 6 farmers continues at full speed, the Rural Services Department teams continue to bring wheat and barley seed support to the farmers of the Capital city by working 359/3 due to the intense interest.
Rural Services Department Head Ahmet Mekin Tüzün shared the following information:
“We are carrying out the biggest seed distribution program of our country. Our farmer has suffered serious damage from both drought and natural disasters this year. In order to maximize production, we provided seed and seedling support throughout the year and provided livestock support. In total, we distribute 12 thousand tons of seeds in 25 districts of Ankara, 10 percent with farmer contribution and 90 percent with metropolitan contribution. Approximately 400 trucks enter Ankara. Our seeds this year are blue and white certified. White certificate means the original stage of the seed. Blue certificate, on the other hand, is the stage that companies use in seed production by contract. This year, we confiscated the white and blue certified products of the companies, so to speak. We also believe that if the conditions go well, the seeds bought by the Metropolitan will add abundance to our producers who will achieve high yields. We will be with our producer from planting to harvest.”
SUPPORT PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE WITHIN DISTRICT UNTIL OCTOBER 27
While the Rural Services Department accelerates the neighborhood-by-neighborhood distribution process in all districts, the distribution of wheat and barley will continue until October 27.

Haji Yildiz: “We were very pleased with the seed support. It was a great support to the farmer. There was a drought, so the farmer was relieved.”
Murat Koc: “He was also supportive last year. Our costs are very high. There are many benefits to providing these supports to the farmer. We got it with a 90 percent grant and it contributed a lot to our budget. This support put a smile on the face of the farmers. Today, you can buy seeds for high prices, but giving them with a 90 percent grant is a great support for the farmer. Despite the drought last year, we had good yields.”
Bekir Wave: “I received the seed support given to us and I am very satisfied. I got 800 kilos of seeds. It has been very beneficial to our budget. Everyone in the village was satisfied.”
Abraham Flag: “On behalf of my region, I would like to thank Mansur President very much. I am using seed support for the first time. 90 percent is an important contribution for us.

It was a good incentive to move us young people forward.”
Vahhab Karakaya: “This is the first time I see such a service. We'll take the seeds and plant them right away. This seed support has given us a beacon of hope. Many villagers desperately needed this seed.”

Ercan Hamdemir: “I have been benefiting from all the supports that have been distributed for 2 years. The output was very good. Our farmers also benefited from many supports. If the seeds were not distributed to the farmers, the farmers would not be able to plant their fields, they would rent them out. Our President Mansur said, 'I will make the people of Ankara rich'. Thanks to our president, he helps the farmer in every way.”
Omer Yildiz: “The municipality gives all kinds of support so that the farmers can develop. It has been very beneficial to my budget. Without this support, the farmer would be devastated. I lived in Europe and I did not see such support there. May Allah be pleased with Mansur President.”
