1. Botanical Production (Vegetative Production)

1.1. Vegetation Cover

The mail vegetation covers at this area whose structure is generally mountainous and covered with trees occur from the forest trees. Alaçam, Çarşamba, Kavak, Vezirköprü and Ayvacık forest are the most important ones. As forest trees, Vilonia oak, pine tree, hornbeam oak and beech tree take the first places. Apart from these, poplar tree, Salix, chestnut tree, locust tree and plane tree are also present in these forests. This vegetation cover which gives a unique attribution to Black Sea Region has decreased in great amount due to wrong cut downs of trees and also because of the illegal cut downs. Very big marshy regions and reed fields are present near the broad posture areas of the region, especially at Çarşamba, Bafra and Ladik boroughs.

Samsun is quite rich from the point of vegetation cover. In Samsun, as well as the forests, vineyards and orchards, grassland and plantation reserve an important place. The most important agricultural products of our city are wheat, tobacco, corn, vegetables, helianthus, sugar beet, and hazelnut and rice plant. Irrigated farming is being made on the 112.098 hectare area of the city whose total agricultural area is 455.324 hectares, while waterless farming is being made on the rest 343.226 hectares area. Bafra plain which is one of the two important plains has an agricultural area of 69.110 hectares and the other plain, Çarşamba Plain has an agricultural area of 53.300 hectares.

1.3.2. Information about important products

Wheat: Wheat production in our city is being made according to the family needs and with a commercial purpose. Is production is dense mostly at the inner parts of the city. suitable for seed wheat needs have been encountered through certified ovaries like Cumhuriyet 75, Momtchill, Gönen, Bezostia-1, Panda, Orso, Golia with the recommendation of the Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture, and besides, it was provided by the farmers. Wheat cultivation area is yearly 137.825 hectares and yearly production is 459.177 tones..

Corn: According to the cultivation time, corn is the first product in our city and it is cultivated rotationally with cereal. Through bead production and silage, it is being utilized as animal breed. As the ovary of the corn that is being produced at our region, hybrid seeds which have high efficiency and the corn of our region ‘’Karadeniz Yıldızı’’ and Arifiye Slajlık, ZP-677,TTM-813 types are being used.. Total corn cultivation area in our city is yearly 53.496 hectares and yearly total bead production is 205.037 tones.

Rice plant: Rice plant production is being made in nine (9) boroughs in our city. The production of rice plant has intensified especially in Terme, Bafra, Alaçam, Çarşamba and Tekkeköy boroughs. In our town, abrupt irrigation method is being applied for rice plant.  Rice plant cultivation ss generally authorized (licensed). In our town, yearly 80.607 tones of rice plant production is being made on an area of 10.091 hectares.

1.4. Vegetable Gardening

Vegetable gardening is being made in a widespread manner in the Bafra and Çarşamba plains of our city, in broad areas. The vegetables which are being produced mostly are tomato, paprika, cucumber, eggplant, spinach, bean, zucchini, cabbage, leek, water melon and casaba melon. Vegetable cultivation is being made on a total are of 28.645 hectares.

Furthermore, vegetable production is being mad at increasing amounts in the resent years in plastic hothouses and high tunnels growing. Present covered area is 13.778 decare. There are problems regarding the evaluation and marketing of the vegetables that are being produced intensively in our city. In order to solve these problems, the establishment of bottled/canned goods and shocking facilities is seen necessary.

The 2006 year production of the vegetables which are being produced primarily are as follows:
Tomato: 247.978 ton
Paprika: 185.166 ton
Cabbage: 184.048 ton
cucumber: 68.221 ton

1.5. Fruit Growing

In our town, enclosure fruit growing production is being made on an area of 91.335 hectares. 87.819 hectares of the enclosure area is hazelnut area. Hazelnut Production is being made in Central, Terme, Çarşamba, Salıpazarı, Ayvacık, Tekkeköy, 19 Mayıs, Bafra, Alaçam, Yakakent and Asarcık boroughs. Again, as enclosure production, peach production is being made in Central and Çarşamba boroughs, and peach production is an important source of income. The production of other fruits is being made in the form of disorganized trees. There are 87.866 hectares hazelnut fields in our city and 107.298 tones of hazelnut production are made. There are 589.672 units of peach trees which give fruit and 28.146 tones of peach were produced from these trees. Additionally, there are 341.710 units of apple trees which give fruit and 13.063 tones of apple were produced from these trees. Furthermore, there are 202.418 units of pear trees which give fruit and 8.045 tones of pear were produced from these trees.

In our country, hazelnut is the most important product within the product whose production reaches to the amount that cannot be finished only with inland consumption. It is possible to decrease the hazelnut cultivation areas and produce other products in these areas whose consumption and exportation is possible. In Çarşamba and Terme Plains, alternative products can be cultivated instead of hazelnut that is being produced at the bottom arable fields. Alternative product studies at the hazelnut cultivation areas have started with the law numbered 3438. According to the law, it is forbidden to plant hazelnut other than the areas Çarşamba, Terme, Ayvacık and Salıpazarı boroughs. Additionally, it is forbidden to plant hazelnut in the above stated places lower than 6 % and higher places than 750 meters from sea level. Arable plain fields where hazelnut production is being made has increased in great amounts and rapidly in the recent years. Hazelnut agriculture is being made on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree arable fields. The production of corn, rice plant, soybeans, sugar beet, all vegetables, fruit growing in some villages, and cover-under production in plastic hothouses can be made in these arable fields instead of hazelnut production.

In Çarşamba plain; hazelnut production is being made on an area of 24.078 hectares. According to the 2006 ear costs net income that will be gained from 1 decare hazelnut field is approximately around -90 New Turkish Liras. If peach production is made at the same field, 431 New Turkish Liras is can be earned, on the other hand, 577 New Turkish Liras can be gained if water melon is produced and 760 New Turkish Liras can be gained is tomato is produced.

1.10.1. Significant Water Projects

1.10.1.1. Irrigation projects whose construction continues

1.10.1.1.1. First Stage Project of the Irrigation of Bafra Plain

The irrigation of 47.727 hectares area in Bafra Plain was foreseen by the utilization of the water that is going to be stored at Derbent Barrage according to the project that will occur in the Bafra Borough of Samsun City. First part Construction of the Bafra Plain Right Shore Irrigation which prevails within the content of the project and which will enable the irrigation of an area of 14 279 hectares was delegated as (Bİ) on the date 15.01.1991, according to the tender 80 000 New Turkish Liras taken according to the unit prices of the year 1990. The first tender was increased to 191 993 New Turkish Liras with the tender increase that occurs from 139.99 % of the first amount. This tender was taken from the ministry latest on 27 September 2000 with the number 5215. The primary work items at the tender are as follows: The main canal with a starting mass flow rate of 19.7 m3/s and which has a length of (35 + 24) kilometers., 86 kilometers long standby canal, 390 kilometers long tertiary, 83 kilometers drainage canal cleaning, 156 kilometers long standby drainage canal, 337 kilometers long tertiary drainage canal, 566 meter gallery, 3666 meters of this is Bafra inside-city passing, total 980 meters long three culvert, 43 bridges, 35 flood passages, five chute and four drainage pump construction.

The watering network whose construction has been continuing is a channel type network; but it includes a mixed system which is together with classical system. Water source of the project is reservoir of the Derbent Barrage which was completed in the year 1990 and water is being taken from Derbent HES well water directly.
The factory which will produce channels that are required by watering network has 4.350 m2 closed and 140.000 m2 open areas. This factory was established and activated in the previous years.

Concreting works of 26.3 –km- part of the 35 –km- S1 main channel which includes 3.666 –meter- Bafra city closed transition gallery and 22.5 km of the S2 main channel whose length is 24 km and which differs from S1 at 12+118 have been completed.

Exact project of the first part’s construction’s 11.300 –ha- part which includes 14.279 –ha- area has been completed and 22 km of the 29 –km- backup watering channel, 173 km of the 258 –km- drainage channel, 222 km of the 316 –km- channel network have been finished, too.

By the end of the year 2006, 9.000 –ha- area has been prepared for watering.

Besides these, a cavity appeared at the point where bed of Kızılırmak intersects with Black Sea. And these cavities has reached to banding channel; then, in accordance with the model experiments which were made by DSİ’s technical research and quality control department, projects of lots of spurs have been prepared in order to protect discharging channel from Black Sea’s coast’s cavities. Construction of M1, M2, and M3 spurs has been completed. Also, construction of west and east spurs which provide intersection of Kızılırmak and Black Sea has been completed, too. In this scope, 5 more spurs have been constructed from M1 spur towards east direction (M4, M5, M6, M7, and M8).

In Boytar Channel which is the most important main discharging channel, melioration works have been started and 7.625 –meter- part has been constructed. 5 road transitions have been constructed on the Boytar discharging channel.

In Koşuköy locale, construction of right P – 1 pump station which is essential for discharging of banding channel to the sea has been completed.

With payment of the year 2007, 1.000 –ha- area will be opened for watering. If we get 3.000.000 YTL additional payment, art works on BDT – 2 banding channel will be constructed.

Because of the route of the BDT – 2 discharging channel which is the lower border of the watering area on the north east is very close to Ramsar and protected areas’ borders, sometimes some problems might be created by some companies related to environment in the process of construction.

In the 12.03.2007 dated and 441 numbered writing of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry’s Protection of Nature and National Parks General Directorate, it was declared that banding channel which is thought to be constructed would stop waters coming from agriculture and waters coming to delta by flowing; the water would be drained together with the water which accumulated on the surface of delta. Also a report related to project’s bad effects for Kızılırmak Delta’s hydraulic structure should be given to Ministry of Environment. If it is necessary this issue will be negotiated in national watery areas commission.

Because of that, no works have been done on BDT – 2 banding channel; so important delays have been occurring in the work schedule.

With the prices of the year 2007, cost of the project is 240.000.000 YTL. Until today, 150.000.000 YTL was spent.

In order to complete the construction of first part of Bafra Savanna’s watering, 90.000.000 YTL payment is needed. In a four –year- period ( between 2008 and 2011), if we get 20.000.000 YTL each year, construction will completely be finished. Under these circumstances, pecuniary accrual rate is 63 %, and physical accrual rate is 70 %.

Bidding of the construction of Bafra Savanna’s left coastal which is the other unit of the project, was made with the prices of 1996 and with an estimated account which amounts 3.600.000. This construction aims to sent water to 19.122 –ha- agricultural land which is on the left coastal of the savanna. In this construction, construction of main channel was started. Total length of the main channel is 52.415 km.

The construction was started in the year 1998. As the result of production and construction works which were started as a channel with steep walls and started from 1+320 point, construction reached to km:6+691 point. But in the year 2006, no works were done due to the lack of payment. But in the left coastal watering area, 13 villages belonged to Bafra County were included in gathering program by Agricultural Reform General Directorate; and their works have been continuing. Bidding od gathering program was made in October 25, and place handling work was done in December.

With 1.000.000 YTL which has been provided for the year 2007, construction of watering network in the -625- ha area whose gathering works are about to be completed will be started. Because the payment is not enough, construction process has been going slowly. Also new gathering works started by Agricultural Reform General Directorate are going too slowly because of lack of payment.

If 7.000.000 additional payment is provided for the left coastal, 370 –ha- agricultural land will be opened to watering and construction of main channel will be completed.

For the construction of 19.122 –ha- Bafra Savanna’s left coastal watering, if 25.000.000 YTL payment is provided in a 6 –year- period from the year 2008, the construction will have been complemented in the year 2013. Bafra Savanna’s left coastal watering project is a 160.000.000 –YTL- project. By the end of the year 2006, 10.500.000 YTL was spent for this work. Rate of pecuniary and physical accrual is 6 %.

Totally 7.661 –ha- Martıkale and Karaköy pump watering project which is under the main channel on the right coastal and which will obtain water from S1 main channel, is included in 2001’s program but its bidding cannot be made this year due to the lack of payment.

As the result of lack of natural gas in February, 2006; 700 m3 water which was sent to bed by operating 4 turbines leaded to flood in Bafra Savanna and monetary damages occurred.

In order to protect the Bafra Savanna from flood, 6.500 –meter- part ( 2 x 6.500 = 13.000 meters) whose construction has not been completed, yet in Kızılırmak’s barriers, should be completed without any delays. Project works have been continuing for this construction. After cost of production will be determined, enough payment will be provided to Kızılırmak barriers; but its bidding needs to be made.

1.10.1.1.2. Project of Watering and Drainage of Çarşamba Savanna

Watering and drainage of an 82.707 –ha- area which is within Samsun and Çarşamba Savanna; and producing 96 million kwH energy with Kumköy HES were planned with this project. Right Coastal Shallow Drainage, Left Coastal Shallow Drainage, Regulator of Kumköy, Construction of The First Part of Right Coastal Watering, Shallow Drainage of the Second Part of Right Coastal, Pump Drainage of Lands which are lower than 2 -meter- quota, Construction of the Second Part of Right Coastal Watering, and Construction of Left Coastal Watering are included in the project. Bidding of construction of shallow drainage of the right coastal watering was completed in the year 1992; bidding of construction of shallow drainage of the left coastal watering was completed in the year 1993; biddings of Kumköy’s regulator and construction of the first part of right coastal watering were completed in the year 1994; and construction of the second part of shallow drainage of the right coastal was completed in the year 1996. Their construction process has been continuing. Biddings of pump drainage of lands which are 2 –meter- lower than the quota, Construction of the second part of right coastal watering, and construction of left coastal watering have not been negotiated, yet.

Construction of Shallow Drainage of Çarşamba Savanna’s Right Coastal was completed by the end of the year 2002 and opened for service. In the Construction of Shallow Drainage of Çarşamba Savanna’s Left Coastal, drainage of the 15.000 –ha- area which is on the south of Samsun – Ordu highway has been partially completed.

By the end of the year 2006, 28.5 km drainage channel, 105.5 km backup drainage channel, 122.6 km tertiary drainage channel were opened; cleaning of 12.8 km existent drainage channel and overlay 27 km gravel road were completed. Also; along Yeşilırmak river, 650 –meter- coastal was enveloped by protection walls. And 16.800 –meter- multiple barriers and 299 artistic works (vents) were made on the channels.

Payment of the year 2007 is 30.000 YTL and there is no need for an additional payment due to the problems of nationalization and problems related to the contractor firm. When these problems are solved, if 5.000.000 YTL payment is provided in a 3 –year- period (between 2008 and 2010) work will be fully implemented. Total cost of the project is 60.000.000 YTL and until this day 45.000.000 YTL has been spent. Rate of pecuniary accrual is 70 % and rate of physical accrual is about 70 %.

Bidding of “Kumköy’s regulator and construction of the first part of right coastal watering” which denotes the construction of watering network of the 20.000 –ha- agricultural land which is at the edge of Çarşamba Savanna and construction of Kumköy’s regulator which will send water to both sides of the Çarşamba Savanna in order to water it was completed in the year 1994. But although the work was started, its construction was stopped because of the bid was sent to court. So until the year 1997 any works could not be done. At the end of the year 1997, the problem was resolved and in the year 1998 the construction was started again. But in that year an important work could not be realized because of lack of payments. In the year 1999, construction of the regulator was accelerated because we get great amount of payments from energy sector as the result of Kumköy HES which would be constructed in constitution of Kumköy’s regulator. First, primary researches for basis and ground where the regulator would be located were made. Then it was decided to start the construction by providing imperviousness and jet – grout systems.

By the end of the year 2006, production of 70.000 m3 concrete was made and we reached to 90 % physical accrual rate. Sluice and radial covers, elevation mechanism, and HES cofferdam covers were completed.

1.500 –meter- concrete wall construction which is within the main channel of right coastal was completed. Also 2700 –meter- drainage channel was opened.

For construction of Kumköy’s regulator and HES; 90 % of the regulator and 60 % of power station building were completed. Bidding of the constant equipment was made by EPDK and water using right agreement was signed. Because of that, construction of the regulator has to be completed within 2 years. Construction of 1.500 –meter- main channel of the watering network was completed.

In the construction of the second part of Çarşamba Savanna’s right coast’s shallow drainage; by the end of the year 2006, 188 km drainage excavation, 6.600 –meter- melioration barrier, 1 vent was made and drainage of 7.250 –ha- area was purveyed.

Because of need for nationalization is 5 or 6 times more than the need for construction, important delays occur in the work schedule. (13.500 YTL construction payment is needed and 90.000 YTL nationalization payment is needed for 1 km drainage channel).

Total cost of the work is 15.000.000 YTL with unit prices of the year 2007. Until today, 6.000.000 YTL has been spent for the work. If we get 3.000.000 YTL in a 3 -year- period (between 2008 and 2010) work will completely be implemented. Rate of physical accrual is 40 % and rate of pecuniary accrual is 35 %.

Totally 17.000 –ha- area which is higher than 2 –meter- quota exist within Çarşamba Savanna. In order to discharge the flood which occurs as the result of climate of the region and which come down because of the backup drainage channels and in order to protect the areas which are located on bottom parts of the savanna from water, 12.000.000 YTL additional payment with an estimated account which amounts 1.000 YTL was included in the project, but because of lack of payment its bidding could not been made until today.

Bidding of the work of pump drainage of the area which is lower than 2 –meter- quota and which is quite important for the drainage work of Çarşamba Savanna and whose bidding was made in the year 2004 has been delayed to the year 2008 and it has been planned to finish it within 4 years.

Payment of the year 2007 is 10.000.000 YTL. With this payment construction of regulator and power station building will be fully complemented and work will have been done in the amount of estimated account. A 15 % increase in the estimated account is needed in order to complete the construction of 400 –meter- channel and construction of Yeşilırmak transition building which will provide the linkage between the regulator and the main channel. Also it has been thought to make bidding of 20.000 –ha- watering network under the name of completion construction. Rate of pecuniary accrual is 90 % and physical accrual rate is about 50 %.

1.10.1.1.3. Vezirköprü Project

The target is to water the 10.964 –ha- area which is located in the Vezirköprü Savanna with 60.000.000 m3 water which will be stored in the Vezirköprü Barrage whose construction has been continuing on İstavroz Stream which is near Bayram Village of Vezirköprü County and Samsun City. Bidding of Vezirköprü project was made in the year 1993 with a proposal given in Turkish Grand National Assembly’s Planning and Budgeting Commission; and bidding of Vezirköprü Barrage was made on 04.11.1993. Construction was completed on October, 2005 and it was filled with water. After agreement and registration works were completed at the end of the year 1996, work place was handed in on 15.03.1997. In this construction which declares watering of 9.657 –ha- agricultural land, totally 2.440 –meter- transition tunnels were opened, their contact injection and concrete overlay were completed. Also 60 –meter- right coastal wall which is between transition tunnel and valve room was constructed. But it was asked to convert the watering network type into partial or complete tubular watering system by general directorate. In this direction, revise planning report was prepared by branch directorate and watering system was converted into tubular system with classic pressure. The new watering area was increased to 10.964 ha. According to the pressurized tubular system, certain project works have been continuing.

In the scope of this work which has 10.964 –ha- watering area, until the year 2005, 2.440 –meter- transition tunnel was opened; their concrete overlay and contact injection were complemented. In the year 2006, with 3.500.000 YTL which was provided for the project and with an additional payment which amounts 5.000.000 YTL, revise payment was increased to 8.500.000 YTL. With this payment, pipe assembling in the tunnel was completed; for main pipe line, pipe preparations were made and 5.725 –meter- pipe was laid. Within the scope of this work which has 10.964 –ha- watering area, until the end of the year 2005, 2.440 –meter- transmission tunnel was opened. Their concrete overlay and contact injection were completed. For this process, 10.000.000 YTL additional payment is needed. In order to place the orders of pipes, it is essential to obtain this additional payment at the beginning of the construction season. Total cost of the project is 110.000.000 YTL, and until today 30.000.000 YTL has been spent for this work. Rate of pecuniary accrual is about 28 %, and physical accrual rate is about 20 %.

From the year 2008, if we get 27.000.000 YTL payment for each year in a three –year- period, watering construction will have been completed up to the year 2010 and about 11.000 –ha- agricultural area will have been opened to watering.
