Work continues for the geothermal agricultural zone in Çanakkale in Ayvacik, Türkiye, with geothermal exploration studies and the general layout plan completed.
The Canakkale Ayvacik Geothermal-Powered Greenhouse Agricultural Specialized OIZ (TDIOSB) in Türkiye is progressing, with plans to be established on 2,500 decares of land. The project aims for annual production of 65,000 tons of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Efforts to establish a geothermal-powered agricultural specialized greenhouse OIZ in Ayvacik are moving forward rapidly. The General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration (MTA) has completed geothermal exploration studies and the general settlement plan.
Ayvacik Governor and OIZ Management Board President Salih Sak stated that once reports on drilled wells are finalized, new geothermal resource production wells will be identified, and drilling operations will begin. The project will utilize geothermal energy to develop modern, high-tech greenhouses, significantly boosting regional agriculture.
Governor Sak emphasized that the OIZ will promote renewable energy utilization and stated, “With its geothermal potential, abundant workforce, and proximity to the European market, Ayvac?k will become a key agricultural production center. This project will enhance greenhouse activities and increase the economic value of regional agriculture.”
Located within the Tuzla and Gülp?nar villages, the 2,500-decare OIZ is supported by Canakkale Governorship, the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Commodity Exchange, Ayvac?k District Governorship, and the Municipality, with backing from the General Directorate of Agricultural Reform of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
