The "Ancestors' Seeds" project initiated two years ago, under the patronage of first lady Emine Erdoğan, looks to boost Turkey's storage of locally produced seeds.

Emine Erdoğan joined officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, which coordinates the project, for a demonstration of the progress of the scheme.

Officials said more than 1,000 seeds donated by citizens were classified, had their genetic and chemical definitions recorded before they were multiplied.

Speaking at the event, Agriculture Minister Dr. Bekir Pakdemirli said they currently had nearly 60 tons of produce, from peppers of Kandır, cucumbers from Samsun and the 10-slice melon from Çorum to the white, short tomato of Ayaş.

The ministry issued a regulation Tuesday for the preservation of local seeds and defined rules for growing, marketing and the sustainable use of seeds.

Pakdemirli said the new regulations aim to collect seeds properly and preserve them with the state's support. The minister said seeds are Turkey's "brands" and exclusive to the country.

As it strives to transform agriculture, which in the past has been hampered by faulty state policies, faulty practices by farmers and imports, Turkey attached importance to seed production.
