The Milas Municipality, which both encourages production and produces its own goods, is continuing its efforts with great care. This year’s harvest from the olive trees—which are regularly maintained and carefully tended throughout the year—is expected to be bountiful.
Milas Mayor Fevzi Topuz visited Kırcağız, where the harvest is taking place, and contributed to the efforts by shaking the olives with an olive-shaking machine. Wishing all staff members the best of luck, Mayor Topuz said, “I hope for a bountiful and prosperous olive harvest season.”
OLIVES ARE ESSENTIAL TO MILAS
Speaking at the harvest site, Milas Mayor Fevzi Topuz said, “We have begun the olive harvest on land owned by our municipality. There are approximately 280 trees on the parcel where we are standing. We expect this year to be a productive season. The oil and olives we produce will meet our municipality’s own needs through our Agricultural Services Department. Our region is a very important area for the ‘memecik’ olive variety. Today, the olive trees planted on these lands consist of a mix of Memecik, Gemlik, and Edremit varieties. Every year, we carry out regular maintenance with staff from the Bornova Olive Research Institute. I hope the olive harvest season brings blessings to our district. “I hope we have a bountiful and prosperous season. Olives are indispensable to Milas,” he said.
In addition to Milas Mayor Fevzi Topuz, Deputy Mayor Ali Özgür, Parks and Gardens Director Alican Koban, and staff members participated in the olive harvest.
