Manisa Metropolitan Municipality has implemented a grant program for strawberry producers in the Yunusemre district to mitigate rising input costs. The initiative provides mulch film through a 75% grant, requiring a 25% contribution from farmers. 

Following a local festival, 20 small-scale producers requested the assistance. This program follows similar support initiatives previously provided in the Salihli and Köprübaşı districts, aimed at ensuring the sustainability of small-scale agriculture. 

The municipality’s measure is specifically designed to reduce input costs for small-scale farmers and help protect family budgets against rising agricultural expenses.
