Got Produce Global Brands and Türkiye’s KAV Sign Agreement to Accelerate Technology Transfer

Agreement Announced During COP31 Boosts Progress Toward Türkiye’s National Goals for Food Resilience and Security

ANTALYA, TURKEY, November 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Got Produce Global Brands (GPG) and the Public Research Foundation (Kamu Araştırmaları Vakfı – KAV), one of Türkiye’s most respected and influential think tanks, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Partnership to advance Technology Transfer for Food Resilience and Food Security across Türkiye. The collaboration will mobilize controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), cold-chain integration, workforce readiness, and national biosecurity measures, with an initial focus in three pilot locations.

“We are pleased to enable this integral Technology Transfer for Food Resilience and Food Security across Türkiye ” said Deborah Walliser, Founder and CEO of Got Produce Global Brands.
Standing on the vision of Dialogue, Consensus and Action, COP31 is a turning point for climate action supporting cooperation and knowledge sharing among governments, the business world, financial institutions, academia, civil society, and local communities.

Designed for positive legacy, the GPG-KAV agreement contributes to long term benefits in climate innovation, local capacity building, and resilient food systems beyond the conference. Prof. Dr. M. Ulvi Saran, President of the Foundation for Public Research (KAV)— stated "together, GPG and KAV reaffirm our commitment to collaborating on greenhouse cultivation investments in Türkiye—projects that prioritize climate resilience, zero-waste principles, and minimal resource consumption.”

Turkey is a major producer in the region, a strong model, and a country with immense potential in greenhouse cultivation. Beyond being the largest agricultural economy in Europe and the Middle East, Turkey is a global agricultural powerhouse, ranking third in vegetable production and fourth in fruit production. Establishing a presence in Türkiye represents a highly strategic move for GPG.”

The Memorandum establishes a framework for localized technology deployment, data standards, training-of-trainers and certification pathways, and the protection of genetic heritage through secure biosecurity protocols aligned with Turkish priorities. The program embeds robust monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL), open reporting on non-sensitive indicators, and inclusive regional stakeholder engagement.

This is the second country-wide project undertaken by Got Produce Global Brands. The company’s first such initiative, in Namibia, is on track to double the entire food production capacity of the nation and reducing dependence in imports. This shift builds- self reliance as a business model ensuring sustainability and longevity of the project.
