Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Mersin, Turkey, the company operates high-capacity processing, cleaning, sorting, and storage facilities strategically positioned adjacent to the Port of Mersin. Armada Gida serves institutional wholesalers, supermarket retailers, food service operators, and industrial food manufacturers across domestic and international markets, exporting its products to more than 80 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.
The company organizes its core business operations across several primary product categories: Pulses and Legumes, including red split and whole lentils, green lentils, yellow lentils, chickpeas, white kidney beans, fava beans, and black-eyed peas; Grains and Cereals, comprising durum wheat, milling wheat, barley, feed corn, and processed bulgur products such as fine bulgur, coarse bulgur, and pilaf bulgur; Rice Varieties, featuring baldo, osmancik, basmati, jasmine, and long grain rice; Oilseeds and Superfoods, offering sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and quinoa; and Organic Products, encompassing certified organic pulses, grains, and specialty seeds.
