The Climate of Derinkuyu and a Heritage Since 1993: Anka's Story of Quality

6 min read · Anka Çilek Fidesi

Behind a quality strawberry plant lies not only technology, but the right geography and the accumulation of years. Anka Çilek Fidesi unites these two forces under one roof: the unique climate of Nevşehir Derinkuyu and a deep-rooted production heritage reaching back to 1993. Anka Çilek Fidesi A.Ş., the agricultural arm of the Yaka Global group, carries this strong foundation into the future with certified and healthy plant production. In this article, we tell the story behind Anka plants and the conditions that make this quality possible.

Derinkuyu: The Advantage Nature Offers for Plants

Anka's production base is located in the Derinkuyu district of Nevşehir. The region's high-altitude climate with cool nights provides an important natural advantage for strawberry plant production. The temperature difference between day and night and the cool nights contribute to the healthy and balanced development of the plant. These climatic conditions support the plant in attaining a more vigorous, more well-rooted and stronger structure.

A plant produced in the right geography reaches the grower's field with a more resilient structure. The climate of Derinkuyu is a natural complement to the quality Anka delivers both in the laboratory and in the field.

A Production Heritage Since 1993

Anka's story is not limited to the present. Its roots rest on a production history that continues from 1993. Plantko Fidecilik, a company that produced a significant portion of the Turkish strawberry plant market, was acquired in 2019 together with its facilities and machinery equipment and joined Anka. This merger brought together years of production experience and technical accumulation under the Anka roof; the brand continued on its way even stronger under the name Anka Çilek Fidesi.

For Anka, this heritage is not just a past, but a culture of quality reflected in every plant. When years of experience meet modern technology, the result is a production philosophy that gives the grower confidence.
