Agricultural production in Polatlı, Ankara

Overview

Agricultural activities in the Polatlı district of Ankara involve diverse crop cycles. In early September, the onion harvest commenced in the Temelli district, utilizing approximately 300 seasonal workers to manually process roughly 200 tons of onions daily. Experts estimated a total regional output of approximately 200,000 tons from 30,000 decares of cultivation.

Concurrently, farmers are engaging in second-crop cultivation by planting oil sunflowers following the wheat harvest. These sunflowers, planted in July, are expected to be harvested in mid-to-late October. This practice aims to provide additional income for farmers and assist in reducing Turkey’s national oil deficit.
