TRIstanbul's sunflower harvest is expected to increase by 20 to 25 percent due to heavy rainfall. Last year, the city produced 44,000 tons of sunflowers, primarily in districts like Silivri, Çatalca, Arnavutköy, and Büyükçekmece. Young farmer Emre Uysal, who manages a 300-decare field, attributes the potential growth to increased humidity and rainfall. He rotates crops with wheat and sells to local merchants and cooperatives. Experienced farmer Korkut Arıkan highlights the efficiency of sunflower farming compared to wheat, noting its shorter growing cycle. Both farmers emphasize the importance of agriculture and note state support through seed subsidies aimed at reducing oil imports.
