With the support of Konya Metropolitan Municipality, the harvest has begun for the “Hüyük Strawberry,” one of the geographically indicated products grown in Hüyük.
Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay reminded that the Metropolitan Municipality has been providing multifaceted support to producers for many years to promote rural development, increase agricultural production, and prevent migration from villages to cities.
Mayor Altay stated, “In the ranking of strawberry production across Turkey, Konya ranked third in 2024 with approximately 80,192 tons, following Mersin and Aydın.”
Strawberry producers stated that the support provided has brought significant benefits both economically and in terms of production capacity, and they expressed their gratitude to Konya Metropolitan Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay for this support.
