The Adana Metropolitan Municipality, under the leadership of Mayor Zeydan Karalar, has distributed 1 million and 200 thousand strawberry seedlings to farmers in the Pozantı district. This initiative is part of a larger effort to support local agriculture by also distributing seedlings for walnuts, tomatoes, almonds, carobs, lavender, and walnuts across Adana. The goal is to enhance the economic well-being of the community by encouraging local production and providing a source of income for villagers. The distribution in Pozantı has become a model for the rest of Turkey, with 145 producers in 12 villages now engaging in strawberry cultivation, and the creation of cooperatives to further support local producers.
