According to a statement by İSTİB, the topic of greenhouse farming was discussed at the monthly "Sectors Speak at the Exchange Square" meeting.

The online event was moderated by President of the Reliable Product Platform Celal Toprak, and featured speakers including İSTİB Assembly President Ahmet Bülent Kasap, Coordinator of the Vegetable and Greenhouse Unit at the General Directorate of Plant Production of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry Ezgi Çoban, Foreign Relations Expert at the Project Management Coordination of the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK) Ali Ateş, President of the Greenhouse Investors and Producers Association (SERABİR) Onur Girdap, and President of the Greenhouse Construction, Equipment, and Exporters Association (SERKONDER) Ufuk Salih Uslu.

Speaking at the meeting, Ezgi Çoban stated that greenhouse farming is widely practiced in Türkiye and is continuously increasing. She noted, "Greenhouse farming is conducted in 80 out of 81 provinces. Soilless agriculture is present in 52 provinces, while 27 provinces have geothermal-based greenhouses. These greenhouses produce 8 million tons of vegetables and 1 million tons of fruit. With our support, greenhouse farming, which is on the path to branding in agricultural terms, is experiencing an increase in production."

İSTİB Assembly President Kasap also highlighted that Türkiye, thanks to its ecological characteristics, is among the leading countries in greenhouse vegetable and fruit production.

Reiterating that one-quarter of Türkiye’s total fruit and vegetable production takes place in greenhouses, Kasap stated, "Tomatoes account for 50% of this production. Other major greenhouse crops include cucumbers, watermelons, peppers, bananas, eggplants, and strawberries. Thanks to investments and technological advancements, we rank fourth globally and second in Europe in greenhouse production. This achievement demonstrates Türkiye’s strong position in agriculture and its potential for the future."
