The chickpeas were not enough, they gave the sugar packaging business to the same company!
It turned out that the discounted candies that TÜRKŞEKER gave to the markets within the scope of 'Shelf Price Guaranteed' were packaged by the company which was offered with chickpeas. The fact that the discounted candies given by TÜRKŞEKER to the markets were packaged by the same company, while the chickpeas offer was fixed with the bill, brought up the allegations of relation of interest.
CHICKPEA OFFER SWEPT UNDER THE CARPET!
It was revealed that when TÜRKŞEKER General Manager Mücahit Alkan was the chairman of TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture Board of Directors last year, the company gave away the products it bought from the farmer to regulate the market, by selling it to certain companies below the market price, behind closed doors, without any tenders or announcements. While Mücahit Alkan was silent in the face of the documented news of the Milli Gazete, it was noteworthy that neither Vakıf Katılım Bank nor the Ministry of Treasury and Finance took any action against those who presented public resources.
WITHOUT TENDER AND ANNOUNCEMENT, 900 TONS OF CHICKPEAS WERE PRESENTED TO ÇAĞLAYAN FOOD
While nearly half of the 100 thousand tons of bread wheat in TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture’s warehouse was sold in the form of a closed sale through a TÜRİB in Gaziantep without any announcement or notice, this sale directly brought up questionable sales in the sector. While it was noted that this sale could only be made with a commission sale, it was covered up by not investigating who benefited from this sale. Again, during the period when Mücahit Alkan was the chairman of the TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture Board of Directors, it was revealed that approximately 900 tons of first-class chickpeas were sold to Çağlayan Food in Kahramankazan for half the market price and the institution resources were presented to the company. While first class chickpeas, whose market price was 7,5 to 8 Turkish Liras (TL) at that time, were sold to Çağlayan Food for 4,93 TL, this sale was made behind closed doors without any announcements or advertisements. It has revealed how TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture’s products purchased from farmers in order to regulate the market are presented to someone.
THEY PLAYED THREE MONKEYS TO THE HEADLINE OF MILLI GAZETE!
Although the Milli Gazete revealed the chickpea offering in TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture with its headline news on August 13, 2021, with its invoice, no explanation was given to the public about this issue, and the chickpea offering was covered up, just like the dubious sale of wheat.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TÜRKŞEKER MANAGERS AND ÇAĞLAYAN FOOD IS AMAZING!
It turned out that the relations of TÜRKŞEKER Agriculture management with this company, which presented 900 tons of chickpeas to Çağlayan Food in Kahramankazan, for half the market price, were not limited to this. It has come to light that the candies that TÜRKŞEKER gives to certain markets within the scope of discounted candy sales are also packaged by Çağlayan Food in Kahramankazan. Having the sugar packaged by the same company while standing in the middle with the chickpea offer document, it brought up the allegations of “Is there an interest relation between this company and TÜRKŞEKER executives?”
WHILE SUGAR WAS NOT SOLD IN THE MARKET, TONS OF SUGAR APPEARED IN IYIGUN GROS' WAREHOUSE
On the other hand, while the image of tons of sugar appeared in the warehouse of IYIGUN GROS in Ankara, the finding of tons of sugar in the warehouse of IYIGÜN GROS during a period when sugar sales to the market were limited, and how much TL and under what conditions these candies were sold became the subject of discussion. It was significant that the managers of TÜRKŞEKER and IYIGUN GROS did not make any public statements regarding the tons of sugar found in the warehouse of IYIGUN GROS.
THE BOARD OF TÜRKŞEKER CANNOT BE ASSIGNED FOR 10 MONTHS! WILL VAHİT KIRİŞCI WORK WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER OF DUBIOUS OR NOT?
As it is known, TÜRKŞEKER was excluded from the scope of privatization and transferred to the Wealth Fund. After this transfer, TÜRKŞEKER was attached to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as the relevant ministry. While the Board of Directors, which is the most important decision-making body of TÜRKŞEKER, has not been appointed for 10 months, the situation of General Manager Mücahit Alkan has also been indetermined. While it was expected that the TÜRKŞEKER Board of Directors would be appointed during Bekir Pakdemirli's term, who was dismissed, the absence of these appointments raised the question marks about Mucahit Alkan. Despite the dubious sale of chickpeas and barley, the fact that Mücahit Alkan could not be touched caused criticism of "the candy bureaucrat of the Ministry of Agriculture", and it is noteworthy that Vahit Kirişci could not make a decision regarding the questionable general manager.
