Agri-Industry Group

Operating in one of Tekfen Holding’s core business areas, the Agri-Industry Group offers a diverse array of products and services centred around agricultural activities. Continually expanding through mutually supportive investments across various opportunity areas, the Group is Turkey’s largest private-sector organization in this field, distinguished by its business volume, comprehensive product and service range, industry-leading practices, and market share.

With a 61.7% share of total revenue, the Agri-Industry Group represents one of Tekfen Holding’s key business drivers. Toros Tarım Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Toros Agri), the umbrella company overseeing the Group’s operations, ranked 56th on the “Turkey’s Top 500 Industrial Enterprises” list announced by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry in 2025 and secured the leading position in the Fertilizer Sector category.

Fertilizer Operations

Toros Agri is Türkiye’s largest fertilizer producer in terms of total installed production capacity and production tonnage.

Toros Agri works on mineral fertilizers, water-soluble specialty fertilizers, and organic/organomineral fertilizers. As part of its mineral fertilizer production activities, the Company produces ammonium nitrate (AN), calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and compound (NPK) fertilizers at its three production facilities in Ceyhan, Mersin, and Samsun; and inhibitor-added and water-soluble fertilizers at its Mersin facility. It produces organic and organomineral fertilizers, tapping into a rapidly emerging market, at its Ceyhan facility. In addition to its Ceyhan facility, it carries out these activities at its biogas and organomineral plants located in Gönen-Balıkesir and Meram-Konya.

To provide farmers with a single source for all plant nutrients, Toros Agri imports any varieties that it does not produce itself. The Company reinforces its leadership in the fertilizer industry through a widespread network of dealers and authorised sellers across Türkiye and produces the bags used in fertilizer packaging at its own facility with a capacity of 33 million bags per year.

Agricultural Production Activities

The Agri-Industry Group produces not only field crop seeds, but also fruit and fruit saplings, with the aim of channelling its accumulated know-how into agricultural production, which is of critical importance to a sustainable future.

Basing its strategy on the “Sustainable Agriculture Principles,” the Group brings science and the latest technologies to agriculture and conducts its operations with a view to creating value for all stakeholders. As part of its agricultural production activities, the Group makes a direct contribution to higher productivity and quality by providing farmers with high-quality seed varieties. In addition, fresh fruit and saplings are produced under the Alanar Fruit brand. One of Türkiye’s leading fruit producers and exporters, Alanar Fruit is active in the production and marketing of cherries, Bursa black figs, pomegranates, apricots, plums and blueberries.

Toros Agri’s biotechnological agricultural production and research activities are carried out at the Agripark R&D Centre, the first and only privately owned R&D centre in Adana officially accredited in the field of crop production and seed breeding. Drawing on Anatolia’s rich biodiversity as a source, Agripark supplies farmers with disease-free, high-yielding and high-quality seeds. Breeding activities at the Agripark R&D Centre continue to focus on bread wheat, durum wheat and barley varieties with high yield and quality characteristics. To date, Agripark, where both conventional methods and accelerated breeding technologies are used in wheat breeding, has developed 18 field crop seed varieties and made them available to Turkish farmers: 16 bread wheat varieties, one barley variety and one sesame variety.

Port Management Operations

Port operations, a significant area in terms of volume and profitability within Tekfen Agricultural Industry Group’s business scope, are carried out through Toros Agriculture’s two terminals in Ceyhan and Samsun. Torosport Ceyhan and Torosport Samsun provide their customers with handling services for a wide range of products, from bulk solid cargo, general cargo, and project loads to petroleum and liquid fuel products, liquid chemicals and vegetable oils, bulk grains and feed raw materials, as well as various industrial ores, minerals, and mining products.
