TürkTraktör, continues keeping woman farmers in the focus
TürkTraktör has achieved many studies for women farmers so far under the scope of the Miracles of Sprouts project which was started to encourage women in the fields of agriculture and automotive.
With the agricultural production leg of the project, women farmers were trained on various fields such as cooperative building, entrepreneurship, mechanization in agriculture and good farming practices, and they were also supported towards their objectives which they wanted to achieve.
With a vision which ‘focuses on women’, TürkTraktör continues its support for women farmers as well as awareness-raising in this scope with various activities and events.
