Anka Çilek Fidesi
The true value of a strawberry seedling emerges not in the field where it is produced but when it reaches the land where it will be planted, intact and alive. Even a seedling with the world's best genetics, grown under the healthiest conditions, loses its value if transported incorrectly. That is precisely why, at Anka Çilek Fidesi, we regard logistics and shipping as the final but most critical stage of production. That a seedling leaving Derinkuyu, Nevşehir preserves its quality until it reaches a grower, whether in a neighbouring province or in another country, is our most fundamental responsibility.
Why Nevşehir? A Geographic Advantage
Derinkuyu, Nevşehir, Anka's centre, is a region with a favourable climate for strawberry seedling production and a deep-rooted agricultural heritage. This location is an advantage not only for production but also for distribution. We operate from a centre from which we can manage, in a planned manner, transport to Turkey's various production regions and export gateways. By combining our geographic location with our shipping discipline, we deliver the seedling to the grower by the shortest and safest route.
In Fresh Seedling, Time Is Everything
Fresh (green) seedling is a living and active plant. The longer the time from lifting to planting, the more the seedling's stress increases and its establishment strength weakens. That is why the most critical element in fresh seedling logistics is speed. The seedling must be lifted at the right time, packaged in the shortest time and shipped without delay. For us, the shipping plan is an inseparable part of the production plan.
- Correct timing: The seedling is lifted at the maturity most suitable for shipment.
- Careful packaging: The root and stem are protected so as not to be damaged during transport.
- Moisture and freshness preservation: The necessary measures are taken so the roots do not dry out en route.
- Planned shipment: The time the seedling spends en route is minimised.
Discipline in Export: Europe, the Middle East and the CIS
At Anka, we deliver our seedlings not only to Turkey but also to European, Middle Eastern and CIS markets. Long-distance export shipments require a far more advanced discipline than domestic delivery. Despite lengthening transport times, border crossings and climate differences, the seedling must preserve its vitality. This experience has given us a shipping culture that works under all conditions. An export-quality logistics infrastructure enables us to serve even our most distant grower within the country with the same confidence.
A Different Approach for Frigo and Fresh
Frigo and fresh seedling have different needs in logistical terms. While dormant frigo seedling requires cold chain discipline, fresh seedling necessitates a speed- and freshness-focused approach. At Anka, we handle each product type separately according to its own requirements and determine the shipping method according to the seedling's biological need. We apply not a one-size-fits-all transport understanding but a logistics design specific to the product.
A Seedling That Arrives Intact, a Grower That Wins
The greatest disappointment for a grower is for the seedling they trusted and ordered to reach them in a worn-out state. At Anka, to eliminate this risk, we never regard shipping as a detail tacked on to the end of production. Standing behind our seedling begins with delivering it to the grower intact.
