After the persistent news of the Milli Gazete, Turkey Sugar Factories (TÜRKŞEKER) General Manager Mücahit Alkan was dismissed and TÜRKŞEKER board members who had not been appointed for a year were appointed.
While the sale of 10 sugar factories without relying on any strategy in 2018 weakened Turkey's hand in sugar production, TÜRKŞEKER was blatantly ruined by unqualified managers like Mücahit Alkan.
While a big wreck was left behind at this point, Turkey, which has a say in sugar beet production, started to import sugar after 24 years.
TÜRKŞEKER BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOT APPOINTED FOR 1 YEAR!
The board of directors of TÜRKŞEKER, which was transferred to the Wealth Fund, which was excluded from the scope of privatization last year, has not been appointed for a year.

TURKŞEKER'S DEBT REACHES 7 BILLION LIRA!
TÜRKŞEKER, one of Turkey's most strategic organizations, increased its debt exponentially during the period when Mücahit Alkan was the General Manager.
Alkan handed over TÜRKŞEKER, which he took over with a debt of 3 billion liras, with a debt of 7 billion liras. It was revealed that TÜRKŞEKER had lost 2.5 billion liras as of last November.
The dubious sale of barley, wheat and chickpeas, which emerged during the period when Mücahit Alkan was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of TÜRKŞEKER TARIM, emerged with the documents of how the institution's opportunities were donated to certain rent circles.
While the headline news of the Milli Gazete aroused great repercussions in the sector, it was noteworthy that the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry of the time Bekir Pakdemirli and the Minister of Treasury and Finance Lütfi Elvan and the Wealth Fund did not initiate any investigation or investigation against the documented corruption there.
TO WHICH COMPANIES WAS TÜRKŞEKER'S SUGAR SOLD AT THE LOW PRICE? THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT GIVEN EVEN TO THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF THE PERIOD!
On the other hand, the fact that the sugar produced by TÜRKŞEKER was mainly sold through TÜRKŞEKER TARIM brought a serious lack of control and arbitrariness to the agenda.
The allegations that TÜRKŞEKER was selling high-tonnage sugar at low prices to certain companies through TÜRKŞEKER TARIM were never clarified.
At the meeting held last November, it was revealed that Mücahit Alkan did not provide information on which companies the sugar sales were made, despite the request of Ayşe Ayşin Işıkgece, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry at the time.
