Doğan Organik Ürünler Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. was established in Kelkit in 2002. In 2005 the Company received organic product and farming certification granted by an audit and certification firm accredited by the European Union.
Aiming to transform Kelkit and its vicinity into the center of organic dairy farming and livestock breeding and to become the leader in this area in Turkey, the Company launched the contract farming project in Kelkit in 2006 and empowered the regional population to get involved in organic production by training them on such matters as organic feed crops, milking, sheltering systems and fertilizer management and by retrofitting livestock shelters and barns.
As a result of these efforts, Doğan Organik has nearly quadrupled its production capacity since receiving its organic certification and reached an annual organic milk production capacity of around 10,000 tons. The Company is currently the largest organic raw milk producer and the only raw material supplier for organic drinking milk in Turkey; as well as one of Europe’s largest organic livestock farm.
In 2011, Doğan Organik began producing organic dairy products and offering them to the Turkish consumers under the Mlife brand of Migros, the supermarket chain popular among the upper-middle class Turkish consumers (AB Group). As part of this project, the Company organized the entire process from producing the raw milk to processing the raw milk to offering the final product in the marketplace.
In 2005, Doğan Organik was named one of the top ten socially responsible investments in Europe by the European Union Directorate of Business Concerns. In 2006 Doğan Organik was honored with the Best Agricultural Investment award by the World Food Organization (FAO) on World Food Day. A founding member of the Association of Organic Product Producers, the Company shares its experiences in symposia and conferences on organic agriculture/ livestock-breeding and food, as well as undertaking training activities to educate local farmers about organic agriculture and livestock-breeding.
