FARMER CARD
Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality provides 100% grant-based fuel support to farmers registered in the Farmer Registration System (ÇKS) for field or garden preparation during the autumn season. This program aims to boost agricultural production and reduce costs for farmers. The project, which started in 2022, continued in 2023 and 2024.
In 2022, 4,045,400 liters of fuel were distributed to 33,180 farmers via the Gaziantep Farmer Card.
In 2023, 4,387,525 liters of fuel were provided to 37,782 farmers; newly registered farmers received both the card and fuel.
In 2024, 4,842,800 liters of fuel were distributed to 43,015 farmers.
Over three years, a total of 13,275,725 liters of fuel support was provided to 113,977 producers. As of 2024, the number of farmers registered in the ÇKS increased by 30%, and the amount of cultivable agricultural land rose by 5%.
Through the Gaziantep Farmer Card Mobile Application, farmers have easy access to and can apply for municipal grants and support. The app also offers discounts at participating stores and dealers, daily access to Gaziantep Commodity Exchange prices, and informative support through shared educational videos.
