Due to the majority of agricultural lands in the region being arid and the low annual precipitation levels, the majority of cultivated agricultural areas consist of cereal farming. Grain production holds particular importance in Konya, as the province hosts numerous industrial investments based on grain processing.

Through this project, the primary aim is to meet the seedling needs for vegetables, flowers, etc., first in Meram District and subsequently in Konya and surrounding provinces, thereby activating local potential. It also seeks to ensure the efficient and effective use of resources locally, enhance the competitiveness of producers, and promote the economic and social integration of vegetable-growing farmers. Within the scope of the project, a 3,000 m² seedling production greenhouse has been established for seedling cultivation.

Through the greenhouse projects, the objectives are to achieve high yield per unit area, to conduct value-added production on small and fragmented lands, to enable production in the early and late seasons, to reduce the carbon footprint, and to promote the widespread adoption of the concept of local production and local consumption.

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.

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