In the Hazin region of the Sarıca neighborhood in the Çermik district of Diyarbakır, farmer Veysi Karamehmetoğlu planted registered Karacadağ rice on an area of 1000 acres. The rice, which was planted in April, is now ready for harvest after months. The rice harvest, which started a week ago with harvesters, will continue for about two more weeks.

Farmer Veysi Karamehmetoğlu stated that they planted nearly 1000 acres of rice. He mentioned that they started planting in April, saying that they first prepared the field and then scattered the seeds after letting the water in.

"LOW SUGAR CONTENT"

Karamehmetoğlu noted that they transitioned to the irrigation phase and grew the rice in about 3-4 months, stating:

"We started harvesting a week ago, it continues, and it will continue for another two weeks. After harvesting, we bring it to the barn, dry it, and send it to the factory. There, we will process the rice. The characteristic of our Karacadağ rice is its low sugar content. That is its biggest feature. It is also very delicious."

"ABOUT 50 LIRA PER KILO"

Evaluating that this year is better than last year, Karamehmetoğlu said, "We produce as much rice as we need, and we sell the rest as paddy. Last year, it was around 25-27 lira per kilo, this year it is around 50 lira. Our lands are very fertile for rice. The yield was 50% last year, this year it is 100%. Last year we had 130 tons, this year we expect 250 tons, God willing. Thank God, the harvest is good this year."
