Agri-Industry Group

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 61.56% 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, as well as the premises of Toros Gönen Yenilenebilir Enerji A.Ş., acquired in 2019, and Toros Meram Yenilenebilir Enerji A.Ş., established in 2020.

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

Within the Agri-Industry Group, agricultural input production, including seeds and saplings, is carried out in addition to direct agricultural production activities.

Aiming to bring a corporate perspective to agricultural production—an area of vital importance for a sustainable future—and to transfer the Group’s know-how in agricultural inputs to the farming sector through a scientific approach and financial strength, Toros Tarım integrates sustainability and ESG principles into its business processes, in line with all Group companies, and bases its strategy on “Sustainable Agriculture Principles.”

Beyond its own agricultural production, Toros Agri directly contributes to increased productivity and quality by providing farmers with high-quality seed and sapling varieties. The Company’s Agripark campus in Adana is one of Türkiye’s first and few technological agriculture centres. Since 2004, disease-free seeds and saplings have been produced at the campus through tissue culture methods, alongside crop seed breeding activities. Registered as an R&D Centre in 2018, the facility utilises Anatolia’s rich biodiversity as a key resource and conducts studies aimed at shaping the future of Turkish agriculture.

Representing Toros Agri’s science-based innovative approach and technological capability, the R&D Centre was established in 2017 at the Mersin Production Facility as Türkiye’s first R&D centre dedicated to plant nutrition. At the Toros Agri R&D Centre, product development aligned with sustainable agriculture strategies and market needs, as well as contributions to the agricultural industry, have been defined as priority objectives.

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.

Free Zone Operations

The Adana Yumurtalık Free Zone, the first in Türkiye dedicated to industrial facilities, is also one of the largest free zones in the country. It is operated by Toros Adana-Yumurtalık Free Zone Founder and Operator, Inc. (TAYSEB), which is also a 9.6-percent shareholder of Mersin Free Zone (MESBAŞ), a 10-percent shareholder of Antalya Free Zone (ASBAŞ), and a founding partner of both.

Located in the same region as Toros Agri’s Ceyhan Manufacturing Plant, the Adana Yumurtalık Free Zone, through the Torosport Ceyhan Terminal, provides port services to companies operating in the area.
