Ödemiş (A district of Izmir province) Chamber of Commerce Chairman Rıfat Eriş said that the country's most fertile soil needs to be reevaluated...

Ödemiş Chamber of Commerce Chairman Rıfat Eriş pointed out that Küçük Menderes Plain is one of the most fertile lands of the world and that the necessary importance is not given to the plain.

Emphasizing that considerable amount of agricultural products and livestock produced in the region, Eriş stated, "All works achieved in this region have not been told sufficiently. Agriculture and livestock are the main activities in Ödemiş, Beydağ and Kiraz districts which located in the east part Izmir province. They have a different style of life in those districts."

 Indicating that this region's economic structure is separate from tourism, trade and Izmir port, Eriş also noted, "In terms of Ödemiş, especially the recently completed dams are very important. The water level of the underground water resources significantly decreased and our underground water resources are observed to be taken down more and more every day."

Right now, we only want our members to export and apply to us," Eriş concluded...
