- Konfrut Tarim A.S., formerly known as Konfrut Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., is a Turkey-based agricultural and food processing company primarily engaged in contract farming, raw material procurement, and the manufacturing, processing, and distribution of fruit and vegetable derivatives and fresh produce. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, with primary processing and operational facilities in Denizli, the company operates as a subsidiary of the Germany-based food and beverage ingredient manufacturer Dohler Group.
The company operates an integrated business model spanning industrial processing, agro-trading, and agricultural supply chain services. Its portfolio of products and services comprises: fruit juice concentrates, including apple, pomegranate, sour cherry, peach, apricot, grape, and citrus concentrates; single-strength and concentrated fruit and vegetable purees; not-from-concentrate (NFC) and cold-pressed juices; natural fruit aromas, volatile fractions, and fruit-derived essences; fresh table fruits and vegetables, including cherries, apples, peaches, nectarines, and citrus crops; certified seedlings, crop nutrition inputs, and agricultural supplies; contract farming management, agronomic advisory, and harvest planning services; and automated sorting, grading, packaging, cold storage, and cold-chain distribution logistics. Konfrut Tarim serves industrial food, beverage, flavor, and juice manufacturers, as well as fresh produce wholesalers and retail chains across Turkey and international export markets in Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East.
In recent years, the company executed a comprehensive corporate transformation, changing its trade name to Konfrut Tarim A.S. to reflect its strategic transition from a conventional industrial juice concentrate manufacturer to an integrated agro-industrial enterprise operating across the entire agricultural value chain. As part of this strategic pivot, Konfrut Tarim expanded its direct contract farming network across multiple agricultural basins in Turkey, implemented digital farming technologies, and scaled its fresh fruit handling, sorting, and packaging infrastructure. The company also expanded its commercial agro-trading division, enhanced raw material sourcing alliances, and further integrated its processing and export supply chains with Dohler Group's worldwide ingredient marketing network.
