Agricultural initiatives in Ağrı Province are demonstrating successful cultivation despite challenging regional conditions. In the Doğubayazıt district, farmer Abdulkadir Ardin established a fruit orchard on barren slopes that produces apples, pears, apricots, and cherries, defying the area’s severe winter climate. Local officials noted the project’s potential for agricultural tourism, as the site includes lodging and dining facilities.

In the village of Ozanlar, farmer Harun Yontar has utilized government subsidies to develop a 30-decare diverse garden. Supported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s ‘Project for the Dissemination of Vegetable Cultivation,’ the farm produces various vegetables and grains using natural fertilizers. The garden also serves as a direct-to-consumer site where customers can pick their own produce.
