We grow olives and a range of fruit crops in Kocaeli, Yalova and Balıkesir among other regions of Turkey, and invest for the long term in productive farmland.
In line with its vision of sustainable growth, Ekcan sees agriculture as far more than a line of business: it is bound up with the future of the country, its economic independence, and one of the most valuable legacies that can be passed on to the next generation.
Knowing how much it matters that land is protected, used well and kept in production, we approach fertile farmland as a long-term investment. We plan our field and farmland investments not around today’s economic conditions alone, but with a view to the value they will hold decades from now.
The importance that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic, placed on agriculture, production and the farmer finds an echo in Ekcan’s own corporate outlook. Guided by the principle that “agriculture is the foundation of the national economy,” we believe production is one of the cornerstones of a strong economy.
We regard land not merely as an investment vehicle but as a precious resource to be protected, cultivated and handed on to future generations with its value intact. With that in mind, we continue to develop the land we already farm while investing in high-quality, productive agricultural land in other regions of Turkey.
Through investments that support the production of olives and a range of other fruit crops, we aim to create long-term value for sustainable agriculture, for local production and for the national economy. Drawing on a deep-rooted company culture, Ekcan will continue to invest in the land and in what it produces.
