A study has been initiated by Mardin Artuklu University's Kızıltepe Vocational School to explore the cultivation of peanuts as an alternative to corn in Mardin, Turkey. The project, led by agricultural expert Assoc. Dr. Yusuf Doğan, aims to shift farmers' focus to peanuts due to its lower cost, higher profit margin, and the potential to improve soil health as a legume.
