Agricultural harvesting in Turkey

Overview

Agricultural harvesting in various Turkish regions is being conducted under intense heat conditions. In the Hatay and Gaziantep areas, the kapya pepper harvest has commenced, with workers in the Amik Ovası region using traditional methods to dry peppers on rooftops for paste production. Farmers in Gaziantep’s İslahiye district report high yields across approximately 20,000 to 25,000 decares of land, with produce being sent to Kahramanmaraş for processing.

In Elazığ, seasonal workers are harvesting tomatoes across a 7,000-dönüm area. Laborers are facing temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius, often working from 06:00 to 18:00. Many of these workers migrate between locations such as Şanlıurfa, İzmir, and Elazığ to support family expenses and schooling.
