Description
Summary:Turkey is a country which attracts the world’s attention with its ecological and biological wealth, and also with its high agricultural potential. Approximately, 5% of Turkey’s lands were spared for horticulture. So, it is called as a country of horticulture. Turkey, which can grow subtropical and even tropical crops as well as the crops which’s homeland is Turkey, can grow approximately 48 million t of horticultural crops per year. It can be seen that branding in horticultural crops in Turkey is too low compared to its production quality and number. The main reasons for this problem are, there are so many establishments (with small land size) which act independently from each other, customers don’t seek brands in table consumption and also, standardization rules don’t apply to products which are for domestic market. In order to producers earn more income, consumers to consume products with quality and to reduce product and quality losses, importance should be also given to branding as well as quality production.
