President Recep Bağlamış: "When our livestock market operates at full capacity, it will contribute 20 billion TL to Kayseri."
Producers are showing strong interest in the Livestock Exchange and Market, the largest in Central Anatolia, built by Kayseri Commodity Exchange. Recep Bağlamış, the President of Kayseri Commodity Exchange, stated, 'When our livestock market operates at full capacity, it will contribute 20 billion TL to Kayseri.
Recep Bağlamış, the President of Kayseri Commodity Exchange, stated, "As of November 1, we activated the Kayseri Commodity Exchange Livestock Market. Our livestock market is the largest and most modern in Central Anatolia, with a daily capacity for a thousand large and 1,500 small livestock. The interest and participation of all producers in Central Anatolia continue to be strong in our market. Thanks to the grace of God, we have provided our city with the livestock market it needed. Hopefully, when our livestock market operates at full capacity, it will contribute 20 billion TL to our province's economy. Just as Kayseri is central in meat products, we are striving to make Kayseri a center for livestock as well. All our livestock breeders are showing intense interest here, and we believe that the interest will continue to grow with each passing week. I consider it a great gain for our Kayseri.
Bağlamış mentioned that the number of producers coming to the market has been increasing every week, stating, "Today, there are approximately 1,500 - 2,000 people here as livestock farmers, but the number of animals is between 700 and 1,000, and small livestock is between 300 and 400. It was a bit less in previous weeks, but every week, the number of animals and the buyers and sellers continue to increase. Almost all the animals that come here go through the buying and selling process. We also listen to our producers after the livestock market. We discuss whether the animals brought are sold and whether the livestock market is functioning. Every week, animals coming here are bought and sold by our producers, and they express their satisfaction. I want to emphasize once again that Kayseri is central for meat and meat products and will also be a center for livestock. All our producers can engage in buying and selling at the Kayseri Commodity Exchange Livestock Market. Producers who want to come here can also obtain information from our exchange's social media accounts. They can come to the exchange and indicate this place with signs to find their way here."
