Local government offices in Çankırı and Kastamonu have established cooperation protocols with the national retail chain Migros to connect regional producers with broader markets.

In Çankırı, the agreement coordinated by the Governor’s Office and the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry focuses on contract farming to reduce intermediaries. The initiative aims to provide purchase guarantees for products such as salt, rice, melon, and pepper, utilizing local irrigation infrastructure.

In Kastamonu, the protocol led by the Governor’s Office seeks to bring geographically indicated products and goods from women’s cooperatives to national and international markets. Targeted items include siyez flour products, Taşköprü garlic, Tosya rice, and chestnut honey. The implementation phase will prioritize supply chain management, standardization, and packaging.
