Anamur District is known as a place where banana growing has been done intensively in Turkey for many years. Strawberry farming has become a source of hope for labor-intensive labor in the rural area, lower capital requirements, lower yielding opportunities for production at Anamur, and poverty and deprivation for low-income, small-scale people. Strawberry production is creating a chance to live in small family businesses instead of a production style that requires high investment such as banana in Anamur. Strawberry production is an important mode of production for low-income, small-scale family businesses from poverty and deprivation.
