Investment guide for geothermal greenhouse projects published by Turkish Ministry

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Türkiye has published an investment guide for Organized Agricultural Zones (OTBs), aiming to support sustainable agriculture and increase productivity. The guide highlights incentives for the use of geothermal energy in agriculture, one of the renewable energy sources. Geothermal energy-supported OTBs will enhance energy efficiency and promote sustainable agricultural practices through environmentally friendly production processes.

Among the 61 Organized Agricultural Zone projects being implemented across Türkiye, those utilizing renewable energy sources stand out. Of these projects ongoing in 42 provinces, 42 have gained legal entity status. The Balikesir-Gönen OTB, in particular, is notable for having the world's largest geothermal greenhouse area. This project will implement sustainable production models by utilizing four different renewable energy sources: geothermal energy, wind, solar, and biomass.

Geothermal energy-supported projects hold a special place among the incentives provided for OTB investments. Investors can benefit from various advantages such as interest-free loans, grant support, discounts on land allocations, and tax exemptions. Entrepreneurs operating in geothermal greenhouses will be supported with interest-free loans, allowing them to minimize energy costs and increase profitability. Geothermal energy offers a sustainable and low-cost heating solution, presenting significant potential for the agricultural sector.
