ANNUAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 40,000 TONS
This is Türkiye’s largest single-plot apple orchard. Production takes place on 600 hectares, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons. The orchard has more than 2,000,000 apple trees of 15 varieties on M-9 rootstock. 400,000 of these trees are club varieties that belong exclusively to us, such as Gradisca, Cosmic Crisp, Majesty and Magic Star, and are not grown by any other company in Türkiye.
OUR PRODUCTS
For high quality & yield...
In our orchards, we use the most advanced technology available today for world-class production and efficiency.
All of our land is irrigated with drip irrigation systems. The Metos irrigation system installed in 2024 manages irrigation according to different soil structures using climate stations and soil moisture sensors. This system saves 60% of water and energy annually. We have a total of three climate control and early warning systems.
The frost warning systems installed in our orchards give early warning when temperatures drop so that the necessary measures can be taken. In addition, wind machines and water sprinkler systems placed around the trees are used to reduce the impact of frost. Thanks to these methods, our apple trees are protected from cold weather and our yields increase.
All of our orchards are covered with nets to protect our trees from hail and sunburn. By providing shade over the trees, we protect the fruit from direct sunlight. With these methods, we protect our apple trees from adverse weather conditions and improve the quality of our produce.
We have 35 fully equipped harvesting robots. With these robots, we can harvest 1,500 kg of apples per person per day. Using robots minimises labour costs and human error. It also increases efficiency and optimises harvest time, making our operations more effective and sustainable.
Using 5 leaf-shredding machines, we aim to produce higher-quality, more colourful apples. Close to harvest time, we thin the leaves with modern machines. As a result, our apples receive more sunlight and develop a perfect red colour.
We employ more than 2,000 workers throughout the season in our Karaman and Akçaşehir orchards. By creating substantial employment in apple farming, we make an important contribution to the regional economy. Working with qualified and experienced staff is essential for the efficiency of our production processes and for improving product quality. In this way, we maintain high standards in apple production and aim to offer our customers the best products.
