Topsu is a Turkish-based agricultural company that has acquired approximately 12 million square meters of farmland located in the Afyon, Eskişehir, and Mahmudiye regions of Turkey.
Out of the total land area, 10.2 million square meters are cultivated with approximately 1.5 million fruit trees, including apple, pear, peach, and sour cherry varieties. The Company also operates sheep farming and bee cultivation activities across its farmlands, supporting an integrated agricultural ecosystem.
Topsu has invested significantly in advanced irrigation systems and protective netting systems to enhance productivity, crop quality, and operational resilience. In addition to its agricultural operations, the Company owns and operates processing factories, strengthening its vertically integrated agribusiness model.
The Company supplies its products to major regional and international companies, including Goknur Gida, reflecting its strong production capacity, quality standards, and position within the global food supply chain.
TOPSU has started implementing the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) in TOPSU farms for the first time in February 2019.
A multiplicity of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) codes, standards and regulations have been developed in recent years by the food industry and producers’ organizations but also governments and NGOs, aiming to codify agricultural practices at farm level for a range of commodities. Their purpose varies from fulfillment of trade and government regulatory requirements (in particular regarding food safety and quality), to more specific requirements of specialty or niche markets. The objective of these GAP codes, standards and regulations includes, to a varying degree:
• Ensuring safety and quality of produce in the food chain
• Capturing new market advantages by modifying supply chain governance
• Improving natural resources use, workers health and working conditions, and/or
• Creating new market opportunities for farmers and exporters in developing countries.
Topsu is growing its fruits harvesting and the quality of harvested fruits in order to make them ready to be supplied to the fresh fruit market.
Topsu is working on expanding its business by investing in Cold Storage and Packing Facilities in future.
