Tea production was also supported by the Republic of Turkey in the following years. The first tea crop was harvested in 1938 and the first tea factory was established in 1947. Since 1963, domestic production has replaced imports in meeting Turkey's tea consumption.[2] Tea production activities were carried out by the State Agricultural Enterprises until 1948, and in cooperation with the General Directorate of Tekel and the Ministry of Agriculture between 1949 and 1973.[3]
On 4 February 2017, all state owned stakes were handed over to the Turkey Wealth Fund.[4]
The firm is a sponsor of Çaykur Rizespor football club.
