The project locations are the districts of Sorgun, Sarıkaya, Saraykent, and Akdağmadeni in Yozgat province. Planned to be initiated on a pilot basis, the project aims to reduce the high rate of calf mortality experienced in cattle farming, minimize diarrhea-related calf deaths, and contribute to the national economy.

The “Niğde Ulukışla Darboğaz II. Phase PWS Irrigation Facility” project, which was included in the Investment Program within the scope of KÖSİP 2022, is at the contract stage. The project covers different fields and resources compared to the project implemented in 2021.

Through this project, it is aimed to demonstrate that more economical and efficient potato production can be achieved using our domestic and national potato varieties, to increase awareness regarding the use of domestic and national seeds, and to reduce foreign dependency in potato seed supply. In addition to providing cultivation training, the project is also targeted to contribute to the widespread adoption of our domestic and national varieties.

With this project, in the province of Karaman, where livestock activities and movements are intensive, it is planned to establish a new livestock market in place of the existing and unhealthy market, within the framework of the “Regulation on Licensing and Inspection Procedures for Livestock Sales Places”, in order to ensure animal health and disease control and to develop the trade of livestock, meat, and milk.

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.

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.
