This project aims to maximize the utilization of geothermal energy resources and fully exploit the associated potential by contributing to the development of innovative and hybrid applications for geothermal energy.

In the project area, there is a pond constructed in 1990 for irrigation purposes and a closed irrigation system facility built in 2019.

The project has enabled the processing of vegetables produced in the region at a previously supported boutique pickle facility. Furthermore, it aims to improve the infrastructure for the local marketing of these products as a continuation of the project.

Through this project, the aims are to promote the widespread adoption of high-value-added products such as cultivated mushrooms in Doğanhisar district, support rural development, increase the income level and quality of life of the local population, contribute to regional rural development, and foster the growth of the national economy.

Among the agricultural products produced in Aksaray, the most widely cultivated and preferred for snacks are sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. With the integrated seed facility established through this project, the products are collected directly from farmers with minimal handling. Inside the facility, the products are dried at the correct temperature in a drying machine, ensuring that their color and quality remain unchanged. This allows the processing, which would normally take weeks, to be completed in the shortest possible time. Farmers are able to sell their products shortly after harvest, increasing the market value of their produce.

The most important source of income in Çekerek district is agriculture and livestock farming. There is no small or large-scale industry in the district. Due to its location, the district is situated in a rural area.
