Yavuz Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, known as Yavuz Hazelnut Products in the international market, was established in 1933 in Giresun, Turkey, which meets 70% of the world's hazelnut needs.
If we briefly summarize this 86-year process from 1933 to the present day; In the sector we entered with the domestic market, we turned to export in a very short time and we took the first steps of international trade in the 1940s, with our experience increasing over the years. By establishing our first processed production facility in 1982, we started exporting processed hazelnuts.
When the calendars showed the year 2000, we continued to grow with the awareness that we had to adapt to the millennium, follow the developing technology closely, and increase our quality and services day by day. By increasing our investments significantly in 2003, we maintained our place among the leading companies of our sector in the globalized world economy where borders no longer apply. In order to meet the increasing service expectations of our customers, we established Yavuz Haselnuss Gmbh company in Germany in 2011 and started to provide faster service especially to our customers who want to buy customs cleared products.
In order to increase our international trade activities and to continue our production with the latest technology and modern production techniques, our new production facility started its activities in Giresun Bulancak district in 2019. With our sustainable production, we provide added value to the country's economy with exports and employment.
As of today, we have two separate facilities for the production of processed and natural hazelnuts. We export our products to all European countries, especially Germany, the Netherlands, China, France, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland and also Scandinavian Countries, and to the USA, Far East, Russia and African countries.
With the sustainability strategy that supports our commercial activities, we produce by taking into account social, economic and environmental factors. We include social and agricultural support practices that enable hazelnut farming to be passed on to future generations within the scope of Yavuz Hazelnut Sustainable Agriculture Project. Our company works to prevent child labor in seasonal agricultural worker families within the scope of the corporate social responsibility project “Hazelnuts Grow with Labor, Children Grow with Love”. In addition, we support the production of high quality hazelnuts with the agricultural support we give to hazelnut producers.
Yavuz Gida continues its activities with a sustainable business approach by adapting the experience and success of its 86-year-old history to the conditions of our time.
