Traditional grain milling in Turkey

Overview

Traditional grain milling practices persist in various regions of Turkey through the use of stone-grinding methods.

In Malatya Province, a century-old mill in the Akçadağ district has transitioned from water and diesel power to electric operation to maintain its service to local villages. Operated by Kemal Günay and his family, the facility processes wheat into flour and bulgur, particularly following the apricot harvest.

Similarly, in the Adilcevaz district of Bitlis, owner Fazıl Akkol maintains a traditional mill that processes wheat and other grains. Although modern industrial technology has become widespread and the number of local mills has declined from ten to one, the facility remains active to serve local consumers and preserve cultural heritage.
