The Ordu Metropolitan Municipality, under the leadership of Mayor Mehmet Hilmi Güler, has initiated several agricultural projects aimed at revitalizing the local economy and promoting sustainable agriculture. This includes the rejuvenation of idle lands for cultivation, such as the one in İkizce district where soybeans were planted, marking the start of cultivation on land that had been fallow since 1981. This initiative is part of a larger collaboration with the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry to assess and utilize idle agricultural lands, covering 14 thousand decares in total. The project has seen the distribution of 15 tons of seeds across 19 districts, with the aim of boosting income for local producers through the cultivation of soybeans and other crops. The early results show a successful harvest, indicating a step forward in enhancing the economic prospects of the region's agriculture sector.
