Harvest in Turkey
Interview with farmer
Raisin harvest in turkey
Interview with Organic-Haselnut-Farmer Cemal Tahmaz
In the regions Salihli and Manisa in Southwestern Turkey, some 80 km from the city of Izmir, nearly 90 farmers cultivate grapes for the production of sultanas and raisins. In a good year, they harvest about 1,100 tons of dried fruit from their vines near the Marmara lake. Rapunzel purchased the first organic sultanas from the region in the mid 1980s.
The peasant families in the vicinity of the Tekelioğlu village harvest their grapes in the month of August. Accompany Rapunzel's agricultural engineers to a harvest day: the following photo series documents a work day of the agricultural advisers and the many steps associated with the harvesting of the sweet grapes that are further processed to sultanas and raisins.

Nuri Sezen proudly displays his mature grapes; so far he is quite happy with his yield. He grows organically controlled grapes for Rapunzel since 1989, because organic agriculture is healthy for the people.
