In areas within our region where livestock activities and mobility are intensive, the project aims to support investment initiatives for the establishment, rehabilitation, and licensing of modern animal markets/exchanges, animal parks and fairs, and slaughterhouse facilities. This is intended to enhance animal health and disease control, as well as to develop the trade of animals, meat, and dairy products.

Through this project, the objectives are to enable beekeepers to produce their own queen bees to obtain higher quality and quantity of products, to contribute to their income by cultivating alternative bee products such as royal jelly, pollen, and propolis alongside honey, and to strengthen the organizational structure so that they can have a say in the market regarding the cultivation and marketing of bee products.

Through this project, the establishment of a soilless strawberry greenhouse aims to save labor and time, obtain higher strawberry yields per unit area, enable more efficient and planned use of productive agricultural lands, and achieve self-sufficiency in strawberry production for Meram district.

A significant portion of animal slaughter in the region still takes place in small and primitive slaughterhouses, with meat and meat products often being produced under conditions that are not hygienically or technologically adequate. Small-scale operations lack cooling units, preventing carcass maturation, creating challenges in preserving internal organs, and resulting in the underutilization of by-products. Additionally, carcasses, hides, and internal organs are transported in unsuitable vehicles.

Due to the majority of agricultural lands being arid and the low annual precipitation level, approximately 40% of cultivated agricultural areas are dedicated to the production of pulses such as chickpeas, lentils, and beans.

Through this project, the objectives are to utilize pivot irrigation—a novel method in agricultural irrigation systems—in research projects, to reduce irrigation costs over large areas, to decrease labor expenses, to ensure uniform irrigation, and to deliver water directly and effectively to the root zones of plants.
