The world's third-largest greenhouse will be established in the Akşehir district of Konya, Turkey.
Efforts have been initiated for a new geothermal greenhouse area in Akşehir that will contribute both to the country and the district. The auction for the geothermal greenhouse area located in Gözpınarı Neighborhood took place in recent days, and the company that won the auction has started project works.
The project, which will contribute to the local community and especially employment in Akşehir, will be implemented on a 432,000 m² area. The geophysical drawings for the geothermal greenhouse have been completed. Measurements have been conducted for 12 wells, and well operations will commence within 30 days. Akşehir Mayor Dr. Salih Akkaya conducted inspections in the area where the geothermal greenhouse will be established and gathered information about the project.
The work on the first phase of the project covering an area of 76,000 m² is targeted to be completed in July 2024. The planned export activities will involve trade in processed or raw fruits to foreign countries. Additionally, research on products for domestic use will be conducted through the Greenhouse Research and Development Center for alternative crops.
