The 15,000-metric-ton facility, built to reduce product losses in the citrus sector, boost exports, and provide producers with modern storage capabilities, is expected to make a significant contribution to the sector’s marketing and export processes.

In a statement following the visit, Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said, “We inspected the Integrated Cold Storage Facilities, whose construction has been completed in the citrus capital. This strategic investment, which will protect production and increase exports, will serve as a symbol of integrated development in agriculture between Türkiye and the TRNC.”
