A family story, from farm to export.
The Özler Family, pioneers of citrus farming in Turkey, have been growing citrus since the early 1960s in Adana. The Çukurova region is responsible for 72% of Turkey's citrus, 90% of its lemon and 95% of its grapefruit production.
Özler Ziraat is one of the biggest citrus growers in Turkey. Our orchards are located meters away from the water-rich Ceyhan River and the state irrigation canals.
Today, Özler Ziraat brings together orchards, packhouse and more than 40 years of export experience under one roof, with a quality-focused approach that runs from the soil to the customer.
Citrus, pomegranates, figs and stone fruits grown with modern and sustainable methods. All production is ITU, GGAP, GRASP and SPRING certified. All produce is tested to ensure pesticide residue levels meet EU, Turkish and customer-specific requirements.
15,000 m² packhouse 20 km from the orchards, with 3,000-ton cold storage and 300-ton daily packing capacity. Our process based on HACCP food-safety principles is IFS Food certified. Our facility is SMETA/SEDEX certified. The final product is 100% traceable.
Over 40 years of experience, from Hong Kong to Canada, exporting to more than 30 countries worldwide.
