In order to establish infrastructure for the local marketing of fresh fruits and vegetables produced in the districts of Ermenek, Başyayla, and Sarıveliler, a fruit and vegetable collection complex has been completed at a location equidistant from the three districts. This complex is especially aimed at marketing cherries and apples at their true local value through a wholesale market system.

The project aims to revitalize idle land by establishing walnut and almond orchards, thereby integrating these crops into the economy and simultaneously increasing farmers' income. Under the project, 30 producers each received 10 decares of land for the establishment of almond and walnut orchards.

The beneficiary of the project, S.S. Demiryurt Agricultural Development Cooperative, was established in 2005 in Demiryurt Village with 30 members. At that time, the cooperative benefited from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s 30x10 investment program (10 cattle for each of 30 families) and began production in a shared barn.

Within the scope of the project, as part of the training and extension activities aimed at generating income, with the objectives of instilling social awareness in women who are engaged in economic activity within the family and are categorized as unpaid family workers through the trainings provided, ensuring their participation in the cooperative, and providing them with a profession to sustain their own lives, trees are processed to make walking sticks, and stonework with local motifs is applied onto the walking sticks.

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

Within the scope of the KOP Agricultural Training and Extension Project, training on “Apple Harvesting” was provided to foremen and harvest workers in Karaman Province, aiming to minimize production losses during the apple harvest.
