Osmaniye CE is also registered peanuts as a geographically marked product, and protected our local values. Now it's the EU registration. My brother Devrim and I are working together at the TOBB R&D and Innovation Board, and my brother Sait and I are working together on the Board of Commodity Exchanges.
