Increasing efficiency in agricultural production and ensuring food security are key priorities. Under the Rural Development Investments Support Program (KKYDP), new incentives have been introduced to encourage investments in steel silos and cold storage facilities—essential solutions for preserving agricultural products over extended periods.
To promote investments in this sector, a new rural development support program under KKYDP was launched in February 2025. This program provides government grants for steel silo and cold storage facility investments, supporting technology upgrades and modernization costs.
Steel silos are widely used for the safe storage of grains, legumes, and other dry agricultural products. Their robust and durable structures help protect stored products from moisture, pests, and other harmful external factors. The key advantages of steel silos include:
Airtight structures that prevent spoilage and preserve product quality
Extended storage periods with minimal loss
High return on investment over the long term
Under the new government incentives, steel silo investments are eligible for a 50% grant. Projects starting at 8 million TL can receive up to 20 million TL in funding, making it a great opportunity for agricultural enterprises looking to modernize their facilities. These grants also cover construction, modernization, and technological upgrades in agricultural-based investments.
Cold storage facilities play a vital role in preserving fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat products, which are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. By extending shelf life and maintaining freshness, these storage solutions ensure stable market conditions. Under the Rural Development Investments Support Program:
For agriculture-based investments, the program provides 50% grant support for projects starting at 8 million TL, helping businesses increase efficiency and profitability.
Applicants must submit a valid building occupancy permit for existing facilities. Additionally, for newly constructed facilities, a building permit is required at the application stage.
