İztarım

İztarım A.Ş. is a Turkish agri-food and retail company wholly owned by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality (İzmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi). It describes itself as a bridge between producers and consumers, buying the output of small and medium-sized farmers at fair value and delivering safe, traceable food to the public at affordable prices. Its activities span primary processing, logistics and direct retail, making it an unusual example of a municipality-integrated food supply chain. The company operates three main facilities. The 100. Yıl Bayındır Süt İşleme Tesisi (100th Year Bayındır Milk Processing Plant) produces milk — including milk delivered to İzmir schoolchildren as part of the Süt Kuzusu (Milk Lamb) project — as well as yoghurt and butter, with ayran planned. The Ödemiş Et Entegre Tesisi (Ödemiş Integrated Meat Facility) carries out slaughtering, processing and packaging of red meat to international food-safety standards. The Menemen Lojistik ve Operasyon Merkezi (Menemen Logistics and Operations Centre) stores both own-produced and sourced goods under cold-chain and hygiene standards. On the retail side, İztarım runs the İZMAR Tanzim Satış Marketleri (İZMAR regulated sales markets), a discount grocery chain that sells the company's own production alongside branded products obtained through agreements with private-sector suppliers. The chain has expanded steadily across İzmir, with store openings reported in districts such as Menemen Asarlık, Osmangazi and Çiğli, and by 2026 it had reached at least 23 stores. İZMAR has also appeared at the İzmir International Fair (İEF), where it was presented as a trusted and affordable alternative for shoppers. İztarım positions itself around food safety, traceability, support for local producers and affordability. It works through contract-farming models and cooperatives, and also partners with private brands to offer competitive prices. Because it is a municipal subsidiary, its ownership and governance are tied to the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality rather than to private shareholders. The company's public communications emphasise healthy food and a sustainable future, and its website carries corporate policies on cookies, privacy and personal-data protection (KVKK).
