Agricultural production model diversifies and expands in Kayseri
With the project led by the Governor's Office, the production model in Kayseri, which started with domestic lentils, is growing with products such as sugar, potatoes, chickpeas, and beans.
Implemented under the coordination of the Kayseri Governor's Office, the local agricultural production model utilizes fallow lands through the cooperation of various stakeholders and opens new revenue doors for farmers.
