A collaboration between four mussel farming facilities in Yalova and an Ankara certification company has begun to obtain organic mussel certification, marking a first in Turkey. The initial inspection, overseen by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK), was successfully conducted at a farm in Kocadere, Çınarcık district. This initiative aims to establish a model for organic mussel breeding, with more inspections scheduled at other facilities in Yalova.
