Her Hobby Started with 5 Seedlings and Turned into 8 tones of Strawberry

Nilgün Kayıran lives in Andırın, Kahramanmaraş. She bought 5 seedlings of strawberry five years ago and her life is not the same since then. She made a decare of strawberry field.

She harvested one tone in her first year and within time, this increased to 8 tones. She sells a kilo of strawberries for 7 liras.

Here is what Kayıran tells about her success story: “I bought 5 seedlings 5 years ago to start harvesting as a hobby but then I decided to use the land before our house and this year we have around 5000 seedlings. We built a low-tunnel system and use biological pests. Our strawberries are very natural. We don’t have a market problem, buyers come to our land to buy strawberries and spend time in nature.”
