The Trabzon Metropolitan Municipality has distributed 75 fully subsidized rechargeable backpack-type tea harvesting machines to tea producers in the Of district. Managed by the municipality’s Department of Agricultural Services, the initiative aims to support agricultural production and mitigate rising labor costs for local farmers.

Each machine is capable of harvesting between 600 and 700 kilograms of tea during an eight-hour workday. Following an initial distribution via a lottery system, Mayor Ahmet Metin Genç announced that an additional 200 machines will be provided to the Of district to meet high demand. Genç stated that supporting tea producers is a municipal duty to protect the region’s vital agricultural products.
