The problem
Türkiye imports a large share of its vegetable oil. According to our company's field document from the 2013–2014 period, sunflower then made up roughly three quarters of domestic vegetable-oil production, and low per-hectare returns pushed farmers toward other crops. Drought, irregular rainfall and rising energy and labour costs worsen this every season.
Kolacı's approach
We looked for a way to release the plant's own yield potential without genetic or chemical intervention.
- 1
We defined the problem on farmers' fields in Çukurova
- 2
developed the technology at Çukurova University Technopark
- 3
validated it on the same fields with control groups
Outcome
XSense Seed Stimulation
field validation completed (2013–2014)
Current stage
