TürkTraktör Supporting Farmers Devastated by Wildfires

TürkTraktör, Turkey's leading company in the agricultural sector, continues to support the farmers whose tractors were damaged by the country-wide wildfires in the past weeks. TürkTraktör, operating with the partnership of Koç Holding and CNHI, delivered a total of 12 New Holland T480 model tractors to the wildfire victims in the Manavgat region thanks to the coordination between the Ministry of Industry and Technology in line with the instructions of Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the President of the Republic of Turkey.

Stating that the climate crisis effects the world more severely with each passing day, which has caused more and more forest fires in recent years, threatening agriculture and farmers as well as all the humans, Aykut Özüner, CEO of TürkTraktör, said: "The climate change results in natural disasters in Turkey just like in many countries around the world." Özüner added: "TürkTraktör supports Turkish farmers and agriculture in weal and woe. We use every means available to stand by our hardworking farmers. With the guidance of the Crisis Center established at Koç Holding, we wanted to help heal the wounds of our farmers who suffered greatly, and delivered new tractors to farmers whose tractors were damaged by the fires. We would like to thank the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey and the Ministry of Industry and Technology for taking initiative quickly and ensuring coordination. As TürkTraktör we will continue to support our farmers under all circumstances."
