Konya's Hüyük district is one of the important strawberry production regions in Turkey, and a variety of strawberry called Hüyük strawberry is grown there. Hüyük strawberry is famous for its taste and aroma, and it is usually large, bright, and red. Additionally, the Hüyük strawberry is a fruit that is rich in vitamins and minerals and has health benefits.
During the strawberry production season, farmers carry out a busy work schedule. They clean the fields of weeds and carry out other maintenance tasks. As the weather gets warmer, producers start working in the fields and eagerly await the harvest of Hüyük strawberries.
Some farmers, like Osman Danacı, work in the strawberry fields of the Hüyük district. Danacı mentions that he used to live in Afyonkarahisar in the past and now they have returned to their ancestral village. Danacı and his wife contribute to strawberry production through hard work and earn money for their family.
Hüyük strawberry is one of Konya's geographical indication products and is one of Turkey's sources of pride. The taste and quality of Hüyük strawberries are recognized worldwide. This summer, Hüyük strawberries will decorate our tables and offer us a healthy snack.
