The Keme mushroom is a species of mycorrhizal fungus and lives in symbiosis with its host plant, Helianthemum spp. (Sunrose, Rockrose).

The project aims to meet the growing demand for strawberry cultivation in the region, generate high income by enabling off-season strawberry production, create specialized strawberry farmers, promote scientific approaches in agricultural production, integrate female labor into the economy, and provide sustainable contributions to development.

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.

Through this project, the objectives are to eliminate post-harvest losses for farmers producing in Karatay district, save time and labor, introduce new technologies, develop the technical knowledge infrastructure in the agricultural sector, disseminate new agricultural techniques and mechanization, utilize regional capacity efficiently, and prevent resource wastage.

A sorting, grading, roasting, and packaging facility has been established to add value to pulses widely cultivated in the region, particularly pumpkin seeds. The project aims to shield farmers from price fluctuations and increase their income by enabling them to sell packaged products.

Through this project, it is aimed to record unexpected meteorological events, which have accelerated particularly in recent years due to climate change, and to establish a necessary database for analyzing the new climate structure. This initiative intends to minimize production losses caused by climate events such as frost, excessive rainfall, drought, etc., during the production processes of all producers.
