EFOR YATIRIM SANAYİ TİCARET A.Ş. Özel Durum Açıklaması (Genel) 20 Mayıs 2026

According to the announcement made by the General Directorate of Tea Enterprises (ÇAYKUR), the 2026 fresh tea procurement campaign will officially commence on May 20, 2026. It was stated that due to the cold spring season, tea leaves matured later this year; however, the campaign will begin in early-harvest regions and for producers ready to start the harvesting process.

Within this framework, our Company's 2026 tea production season has also commenced with the first harvest period. The opening of the season was announced to the public through the tea harvest welcoming event organized in the Ardeşen district of Rize under the slogan "It Starts with a Leaf". Fresh tea delivered to our production facilities has been continuously processed without interruption.

During the season, the Company targets the procurement of a total of 100,000 tonnes of fresh tea, which is planned to be processed at our facilities located in Trabzon, Rize and Artvin, resulting in an estimated production of 20,000 tonnes of black tea.

Furthermore, our Company has become entitled to receive the internationally recognized FSSC 22000 V6 Food Safety Management System certification, developed by the FSSC Foundation, to be implemented across all processes extending from fresh tea procurement to black tea production. The certification represents a significant achievement in terms of ensuring product quality, supporting access to export markets and strengthening brand credibility.

Developments regarding the season will continue to be shared with the public.

Respectfully announced to the public.
