ABOUT US Brief history of the company (establishment date, current situation, export experience-if there is etc.) TASACO TARIM, one of the group companies of Doktor Tarsa, is a seed and crop production company, founded in 1996. First began to agricultural activities with chips corn production. Is a partner of Füpaş Inc. which is Doctor Tarsa’s and also is one of the group companies started operating in 2004. In the private sector in Turkey it is the company producing largest number of certified wheat seed. In wheat, 5 pieces of bread wheat, 5 pieces of durum and 1 for biscuit with a total of 11 units of wheat varieties have been granted production permission and / or has been registered. On the other hand 1 triticale, 2 paddy rice, 1 clove and 1 cotton varieties have been granted production permission and / or have been registered. The 44 varieties of vegetable seeds have been registered to the commercial list. Our clover seed called Prosementi, has gained huge appreciation and have become the most demanded in seed varieties. Our range called SAGITTARIO, has found a wide planting area reaching from Mardin to Tekirdağ, in Southeastern Anatolia and coastal areas. Due to its high quality, it raised up to the first class (same group with Bezostoja-1) in purchase scales of TMO in 2005. Our range called ESPERIA which grows in cold climates, showed that there can be an alternative for Bezostoja -1 range. Both of our two wheat ranges solved Turkey’s wheat quality problem. Our country was forced to import wheat from time to time due to the lack of quality in local market, and by our two ranges (SAGITTARIO and ESPERIA) quality issues have been surmounted. Being the favorite of pasta and wheat industrialists with their quality, our wheat ranges ZENIT, SVEVO, LEVANTE , SARAGOLLA and MAESTRALE have a very important production area in Southeastern, Eastern and Aegean Regions.
