Hafure Adak, a female entrepreneur residing in the Yeşilyurt district of Malatya, established a modern facility with support from the Agricultural and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK), producing 700 liters of milk daily.
Hafure Adak, a 46-year-old mother of two living in the Şahnahan neighborhood of Yeşilyurt district, took the first step to start her own business four years ago by applying to the Agricultural and Rural Development Support Institution (TKDK). After her application was accepted, Adak rolled up her sleeves to establish a modern dairy farm on a 10-acre plot with grant support from the institution. With the support of her husband and children, Adak quickly put the facility into operation and became the boss of her own business, earning a regular income for the past three years. Ramazan Bulut, who started working at the facility four months ago, stated that they take care of the general maintenance of the animals and emphasized the high quality of the milk produced.
Adak's husband, Ekrem Adak, expressed their contribution to Malatya by establishing a beautiful facility, saying, "After marrying my wife, I noticed her interest in animal husbandry. Later, we applied after hearing about TKDK's support for female entrepreneurs. With the support of TKDK Malatya Provincial Coordinator Murat Tunç, we established this beautiful facility. We are contributing to the city's economy and employment with a very productive and halal business. We brought our animals from abroad. I would like to see young female entrepreneurs like my wife doing similar jobs. TKDK provides all kinds of support. We started with 50 animals in the facility, and we have increased this number to 100. We sell the milk to a contracted company, and they offer the products made from the milk to the domestic market."
"We produce 700 liters of milk daily," said Hafure Adak, emphasizing the significant support she received from her husband, Ekrem Adak. She added, "Our 2019 project was approved, and we started production with 50 animals. Now we have reached 100 animals. We produce 700 liters of milk daily. I thank Murat Tunç, the TKDK Malatya Provincial Coordinator, for their support. We succeeded, and other female entrepreneurs can succeed too.
