Strawberry and aronia production in Samsun

Overview

Agricultural activity in the Samsun region is seeing a focus on strawberry and aronia production, driven by both individual transitions and municipal support.

Individual farmers, such as former textile worker Birsen Yıldız in the Kavak district, have transitioned to farming aronia and strawberries on multi-acre plots. Following previous frost damage, aronia crops have reached maturity, prompting plans to expand strawberry cultivation due to high demand.

Concurrently, the Samsun Metropolitan Municipality has implemented a support program in the Alaçam district to expand strawberry production. For the 2025-2026 period, the municipality is providing 56 producers with seedlings, irrigation systems, and fertilizers. This initiative aims to reduce costs for small-scale farmers and leverage the region’s fertile soil to increase rural income.
