LINE HEADS FROM VISITING

 

THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

Stating that he saw the future of the world in food and agriculture, AYKAC said that as technology evolves, the need for manpower decreases, but the nutritional need of the increasing world population increases, and he believes that our country’s and our people’s welfare level will increase with an accurate agricultural policy. He said that we should focus on the yield rather than the multiplicity of our agricultural lands, and that high profitable works can be done with the right agriculture and animal husbandry practices.

 

WE ARE EATING OURSELVES IN MEAT PROJECT

Cheap meat project is a very nice and meaningful project indicating that Aykac, the meat we sell alone from 1 to 3. We reinforce the rest of the meat from domestic food. This, of course, increases our costs and we suffer a certain amount of damage, but we will bear them for the continuation of the project, he said.

 

WE INSPECT LABORATORIES

Stating that the consumer is not only price-oriented and also attaches great importance to the quality of the product he consumes, Aykac said that BIM’s famous inspections do not only cover the manufacturers, they also test the laboratories where the products are delivered and differentiate their ways with the unsuccessful ones.

 

IF THE RESULT IS POSITIVE, THERE IS NO PROBLEM

Stating that they always try to sell the best quality products at the most reasonable price as BIM, Aykac is an institution that protects the manufacturer within the limits possible. Today, it is not possible for a retail chain to conduct an efficient trade without supporting its producer. We know that producers are having difficulties from time to time, but if the year shows 12 months, the subtotal positive at the end of the year, we expect the producers to keep up with the difficulties they have experienced in some periods.
