"Konya Fide" is Konya's first and only vegetable seedling production facility. The facility provides many benefits to farmers in terms of quality and price. Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş said, "As long as our farmers are satisfied, we will continue to expand the facility."
In 2019, with the leadership of Meram Municipality and in collaboration with Karatay Agricultural Chamber and Konya Vegetable Producers Union, Konya's first and only vegetable seedling production facility, Konya Fide, was established with the support of KOP. The new season sales have begun at Konya Fide, and Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş, who conducted inspections at the facility due to the start of sales, provide information about production capacity and sales details.
Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş emphasized that with the arrival of spring, vegetable seedling plantings have also begun, and reminded that the facility has the capacity to meet more than ten percent of Konya's annual seedling demand. Mayor Kavuş pointed out that there is a significant supply of seedlings in Konya and the surrounding areas, and noted that with the facility, seedlings are now produced using the area's air and soil, with disease-free, pure, and hybrid seed methods.
Mayor Kavuş stated that thanks to Konya Fide, the producer's transportation costs have decreased, and losses during transportation have been prevented. He said that this provides many advantages to the producers, including protection against diseases.
