Despite the Acıgöl district being a region with significant cattle farming and numerous cooperatives, these producer unions, as is common across the country, have largely functioned only as milk collection centers without advancing further. Through this project, a cooperative consciousness has been established, and in collaboration with the Karacaören Cooperative, regarded as the best in the region, this mindset has been broken. A milk processing facility with a daily capacity of 5 tons has been established to process the milk of local producers, thereby eliminating dependency on external resources.

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.

Through the portable sheepfold projects, the objectives are to improve shelter conditions and thereby enhance animal welfare, to prevent productivity losses in animal husbandry, to produce healthy and high-quality animal products, to prevent the establishment of permanent shelters in pastures, to clear irregular structures within pastures, and to develop alternative methods that will facilitate the reclamation of pasturelands.

The project aims to improve shelter conditions to enhance animal welfare, prevent livestock productivity losses, produce healthy and high-quality animal products, facilitate access to water sources on pastures, prevent stress, disease, and productivity loss caused by sunlight in summer and rain in spring and autumn, and reduce overgrazing pressure on pastures through planned grazing.

The project aims to process Topaç Village Garlic, produced from local seeds in Topaç Village of Acıgöl district, on-site; market it in semi-processed form through the cooperative; and generate local employment. Within the scope of the project, one Garlic Peeling and Packaging Facility has been established.

The aim of the projects is to develop beekeeping, which has significant potential in the region, to increase the income levels of producers and create employment, to provide producers with beekeeping materials that allow them to engage in organic beekeeping economically, to diversify the products produced in organic beekeeping, to increase producers’ incomes, and to improve their marketing capabilities.
