Tarcitrus brand transforms Tarsus citrus into value-added products

Ahenk Arkan, a producer from Tarsus, has launched the brand Tarcitrus to transform local citrus fruits into high-value products. Utilizing the region's geographical indications, Arkan produces a variety of goods including jams, natural colognes made from citrus peels, sour citrus, and soaps.

Arkan's business model includes a boutique cafe concept that serves both her own products and those from other natural producers. The brand name Tarcitrus is derived from the first three letters of Tarsus and the word 'citrus'.

The Mersin Metropolitan Municipality, through its Department of Women and Family Services, has supported Arkan's efforts by providing producer stands and training. These initiatives aim to increase brand recognition for local women and foster cooperation among female entrepreneurs in the region.
