We serve customers who want to make investments or buy estates in the Tigris and Euphrates Basin in Southeastern Turkey (at Upper Mesopotamia).



The estates are totally 16,200 danums (approximately 1,620 hectares or 6,176 sq. miles or 3953.6 acres) and Fields are at Tigris and Euphrates Basin. It is in GA. (Southeastern Anatolia Project) region of Turkey .

The Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) is a massive $32 billion public project to harness the power and potential of the upper reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and to irrigate the fertile plains that lie between them.

 

When completed in 2010, 21 dams and 17 hydroelectric power plants will produce approximately 22% of Turkey's projected electricity requirements, equivalent to the entire national energy consumption in 1988.

The Ataturk Dam, the sixth largest rock filled dam in the world, is the key structure for the development of the Lower Euphrates River region. Completed in 1993, it presently generates 8.9 billion kWh in electricity and is responsible for opening more than 180,000 acres of farmland to irrigation in the Harran plain.



The new irrigation systems created by the GAP will double Turkey's irrigable farmland in a region which has traditionally suffered from light rainfall. New irrigation has already brought about a corresponding boom in agricultural activity. From just one crop per year, in many areas five crops in a two-year cycle have become or will soon be possible.

 

Crop yields of cotton, wheat, barley, lentils and other grains have reportedly tripled in the Harran plain as a result of irrigation from the Ataturk Dam. Land values have risen rapidly. 

Family income, number of personal vehicles and number of tractors in the region have nearly tripled in the past eight years. The range of new products under cultivation is also expanding. Farmers are now experimenting with new varieties of fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
