History of Canned Tastes

The fruit and vegetable processing industry in Türkiye was established in the early 1900s and showed significant developments during the planned development period.

The sector mainly consists of pickles, temporary canned vegetables, and canned fruit and vegetable production. Canning production plants are concentrated in the Aegean and Marmara regions in number and capacity due to the raw materials needed by the industry being more abundant and higher in quality there.
