In the region, which historically had a viticulture culture, vineyards were abandoned due to diseases that emerged because the old-type rootstocks were ungrafted.

The most important source of income in Çekerek district is agriculture and livestock farming. There is no small or large-scale industry in the district. Due to its location, the district is situated in a rural area.

The project aims to meet the growing demand for strawberry cultivation in the region, generate high income by enabling off-season strawberry production, create specialized strawberry farmers, promote scientific approaches in agricultural production, integrate female labor into the economy, and provide sustainable contributions to development.
