Hi, I’m Taner Bugay and I grow organic lemons, grapefruit, oranges, minneola’s and mandarins in Turkey for Nature & More, together with ten other growers. Our company is called Tareks LTD and our orchards are located in the south of Turkey, near the city of Adana. My motivation to go organic was mostly personal. We had some cases of illness in our family and I became convinced that pesticides were the cause of the health problems particularly for growers that work with such products on a week to week basis. On top of that they are harmful to nature: they kill beneficial insects and have a negative impact on soil life. So two years after starting our company I turned organic. It’s a wonderful idea to provide so many people all over Europe with healthy fruit, and being able to contribute to their quality of life.
