Dear Members,

Since its establishment on March 9, 2020, our association has existed with the aim of being the voice of walnut producers, seeking solutions to our common problems together, making our sector more visible, and taking it to a stronger position. Today, we are trying to continue this with your valuable support and great dedication.

To date, our association has accomplished significant work based on a volunteer-based approach and the intensive efforts of a limited number of people. In the coming year and years, I invite us all to work together to consider ways to transform this effort into a more shared, broadly participatory, and stronger organization with more members.

Therefore, as we approach 2026, we highly value you sharing your expectations, priorities, criticisms, suggestions, and opinions with us regarding our association.

In your opinion, what will our association be like in 2026?

- In which areas should it provide more benefits to its members?

- Which issues should be prioritized (education, representation (Ankara), PR & social media, low productivity, climate, marketing, etc.)?

- In which "headings" would you like to see it more effective?

- What do you think should be done to strengthen the association's "functioning and sphere of influence"?

- If you had the opportunity, in which areas would you like to contribute?

Every opinion and suggestion you share will guide us in shaping the roadmap of our association for the coming year and years. Let's not forget that our association belongs to "all of us," and let's build its future "together."

We look forward to hearing from you in the coming days, and thank you in advance for your time and interest/contribution.

With my respect and regards,

Omer Erguder
