Welcome to Ordu Commodity Exchange, which adopts “member satisfaction-oriented” service as a principle with the motto of “The Institution That Gets Its Power From Its Members”. I greet you respectfully on behalf of myself and my organization.
Hazelnut is one of the most important and valuable agricultural products of our province, region and country, as well as a commodity that we dominate in international trade. Hazelnut is not only meaningful in terms of production and trade, it is also a part of our social and cultural life. In our country, calendars were formed depending on hazelnuts.
The engagement is made to the boy “Before the Hazelnut” and the wedding is “After the Hazelnut”. According to the hazelnut price and harvest, plans are made for social life and dreams are built. Our folk songs, songs and poems are about hazelnut. For us, “hazelnut” is the center of life itself. Whether we produce hazelnuts or not, when we come together, the backbone of the conversation is about hazelnuts. If we did not mention this aspect, the expression of our sensitivity about hazelnut would be incomplete.
Hazelnuts have been produced and sold in these lands for centuries. The way to sustain our leadership in this period of sharpening competition is to know, perceive and fulfill the “quality” criteria. There is much to learn and much to say about hazelnuts, our sweat, labor and bread.
Today, we will be trained on the physical properties of hazelnuts by the esteemed experts of the Hazelnut Research Institute, and in this way, we will be better equipped and more confidently aware while doing our job.
While ending my words here, I hope that our program will be instrumental for good.
