Turkey's Ministry of Agriculture has approved a 717,000-sq. m. agricultural industrial zone in Aydin that will use geothermal greenhouse heating. The Kadikoy Specialized Organized Industrial Zone project based on Agriculture, prepared for the use of geothermal in greenhouses in Aydin, which has Turkey’s largest geothermal power plants, has been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
Ufuk Senturk, President of the Geothermal Power Plant Investors Association (JESDER), stated that the project will be operational on an area of 717 thousand square meters and said: “The construction of the Geothermal Heated Greenhouse Organized Industrial Zone will begin. Until today, 1.5 people could work per acre in the literature. This directly corresponds to a thousand people. If we take into account the side arms of this greenhouse, 2,000 people will be indirectly employed.”
“The investments will be made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as a grant. There will also be drying facilities in our industrial zone. We will also have the opportunity to dry Aydin Figs in these facilities.”
