Due to the availability of different climatic characteristics and soil types most of the vegetables

of greenhouse production. Turkey has 12.61 million t. tomato production. This production includes table (8.170 t)

and industrial (4.445 t) tomato. And tomato is the most growing vegetable with 42% of total production in Turkey.

Tomato production of Southeast Region is 677 600 t in 66 474 ha. The region has 359 734 t table tomato production

in 39.571 ha and the industrial tomato production is 317 886 t in 26 903 ha. The region has great potential in terms

of tomato production. South Eastern Anatolia Region has strong and big potential for marketing and growing of

tomato besides Marmara region. So development of the tomato based industry will ultimately increase the new
