Denizli advances as Turkey's walnut hub

With the completion of the Emirçay İnceler Dam and Irrigation Project in the Bozkurt district of Denizli, 6,600 hectares of agricultural land is expected to benefit from modern irrigation, contributing an annual income increase of 6,400 TL per hectare and aiming to provide an annual contribution of 42 million 240 thousand TL to the country's economy.

While the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry works tirelessly to promote modern irrigation in agriculture, maximize benefits from agricultural lands through consolidation efforts, provide healthy and drinkable water to taps, and protect settlements and agricultural lands against flood risks, it also embraces a sustainable water management approach, caring for every drop of water. Recent irrigation projects in Denizli and its districts play a crucial role in the development of agricultural activities.

As part of these efforts, construction works for the Emirçay İnceler Dam and Irrigation project in the İnceler Village of Bozkurt district, Denizli, are being carried out with great precision. The reservoir, with a storage capacity of 3 million cubic meters of water, will irrigate 6,600 hectares of agricultural land with a modern piped irrigation system once the installation of irrigation pipes is completed. The project aims to increase the productivity of agricultural production by efficiently utilizing production factors, with a targeted income increase of 6,400 TL per hectare and an annual contribution of 42 million 240 thousand TL to the country's economy.
