* The adaptation studies, which had started 14 years ago, have finally paid off.

* The local people in the region have embraced kiwi production. We are having a hard time providing kiwi saplings for everybody because of the high demand.

* The Giresun Provincial Office of Agriculture and the Hazelnut Research Institute (FAE), produce an estimate of 17 thousand kiwi saplings each year and distribute them to the local people.

* The goal is to provide the local people with a minimum of 20 thousand kiwi saplings this year. (NK/BB/EA/NM)
