- Goknur Gida Maddeleri Enerji Imalat Ithalat Ihracat Ticaret ve Sanayi A.S. is a Turkey-based integrated agribusiness and food manufacturing company primarily engaged in the cultivation, processing, packaging, and international distribution of organic and conventional fruit and vegetable products, as well as renewable energy generation. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, the company operates a vertically integrated farm-to-table business model encompassing company-owned agricultural orchards spanning approximately 30,000 decares, multiple industrial processing facilities across Turkey, and overseas assembly and logistics hubs.
The company operates through three core business segments: Industrial Fruit and Vegetable Ingredients, Consumer Packaged Beverages, and Renewable Energy. Its comprehensive product portfolio comprises clear and cloudy fruit juice concentrates including apple, pear, pomegranate, sour cherry, peach, and apricot; fruit purees and puree concentrates; deionized and rectified fruit concentrates; natural fruit aromas, volatile flavor compounds, and cold-pressed citrus peel oils; not-from-concentrate direct juices; individual quick frozen fruits and vegetables; dried seeds and fruit derivatives; and consumer-packaged retail juices marketed under proprietary brands such as Fruit Drops, Get One, and Absolutely. In addition, the company provides industrial contract manufacturing; aseptic packaging and bottling; custom blending and formulation; cold chain warehousing; international logistics services; and organic waste-to-energy and solar power generation.
Goknur Gida serves multinational food and beverage manufacturers, flavor houses, and retail supermarket chains across more than 85 countries, exporting approximately 85 percent of its production to key markets across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. The company operates major domestic manufacturing and processing plants in Nigde, Mersin, Adana, and Afyonkarahisar with an aggregate daily processing capacity of 7,200 metric tons, supported internationally by foreign operating entities and distribution hubs including Pegoo Juice Food Technology Co. Ltd. in China, Rheinfrucht B.V. in the Netherlands, and United Juice S.P.C. in Bahrain, as well as facilities in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
In recent developments, Goknur Gida completed its initial public offering on Borsa Istanbul in March 2023, listing under the ticker GOKNR to finance strategic capacity expansions, orchard development, and renewable energy programs. Following the listing, the company has accelerated investments in renewable energy infrastructure to achieve operational self-sufficiency, securing government investment incentive certificates to install extensive rooftop solar photovoltaic systems across its processing complexes in Adana and Afyonkarahisar. The company has also expanded its energy generation capacity through the operational optimization of its biogas subsidiaries, Mey Biogaz and Dinar Biogaz, while scaling organic fruit cultivation areas and modernizing cold storage and aseptic bottling lines to meet surging international demand for certified organic and clean-label fruit ingredients.
