Polatlı onion harvest begins in Ankara with 300 seasonal workers
The onion harvest has commenced in the Temelli district of Polatlı, Ankara, a region critical to Turkey’s winter onion supply. Approximately 300 seasonal workers are engaged in labor-intensive tasks, including digging, cutting, and bagging the produce.
Workers operate from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM, processing roughly 200 tons of onions daily. The harvest is being conducted manually rather than by machine. The onions are categorized into three sizes: large ‘takoz’ onions for supermarkets, medium sizes for restaurants, and small onions for local markets.
Agricultural experts estimate that the Polatlı region contains roughly 30,000 decares of onion cultivation, with expected yields between 5 and 7 tons per decare. This could result in a total regional output of approximately 200,000 tons. The harvest is expected to conclude by the 15th of the month, depending on weather conditions.
