Traditional agricultural practices in Turkey
Overview
Traditional agricultural practices and local resources continue to support livelihoods in various Turkish provinces.
In Yozgat, the extraction of a specialized white soil known as ‘pekmez toprağı’ (molasses soil) or marn is vital for traditional molasses production. This soil is used to filter grape juice to prevent souring and is described by local village head Yavuz İcik as the village’s ‘white gold.’ The resource is distributed across Turkey and exported to Germany.
In other regions, farmers maintain long-standing traditions, such as a 41-year family practice of bulgur production in Yozgat using copper cauldrons and wood fires. Similarly, in Muş, farmers utilize sun-drying methods for vegetables like tomatoes and peppers to sell to local customers and expatriates from Germany and France.
