Kumar Agricultural Industries

Down in Billimora, at Plot No.K-1/18 in the Gidc area of Antalia, you’ll find our workshop. Kumar Agricultural Industries has been around this industrial estate for quite a long time. It’s a place where there is always the sound of metal being cut or welded. We make stuff for farmers, so there are usually plows or tractor parts sitting around in various stages of being finished. The floor is concrete and usually covered in a bit of metal shavings and dust. It’s a workspace, not a showroom. We get local guys dropping in to ask if we can fix a broken piece of machinery or if we have a specific part in stock. Usually, we’re covered in a bit of soot or grease by the end of the day. It’s a small team, mostly people from around the Antalia area who know their way around a welding torch. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone wearing a suit. Just some people in work clothes trying to get the orders out before the planting season starts. The heat in the Gidc can be pretty intense in the summer, so we keep the big doors open to catch whatever breeze comes through. It’s straightforward work. We take the raw steel and turn it into something useful for the fields. That’s pretty much the whole story of what happens here every day.
