EIA approval for a 200 t/day olive oil plant in Mudanya
A 9.5 million lira olive oil plant planned in Mudanya, Bursa, has received a positive environmental impact decision: 200 tonnes of olives a day, around 100 operating days a season.
The governor's office in Bursa has issued a positive environmental impact decision for an olive oil plant planned in the Evciler district of Mudanya. The project is to be built by Cengizhan Kara.
The project in numbers
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Total investment | TRY 9,500,000 |
| — crushing units (2) | TRY 5,889,800 |
| — construction | TRY 3,610,200 |
| Site | 5,383.68 m² |
| Capacity | 2 × 100 t/day = 200 t/day |
| Expected oil | ~40 t/day |
| Operating period | ~100 days a season, 24 hours |
| Employment | 4 in operation, 5 during construction |
The plant will use two fully automatic continuous systems with a two-phase process.
What the numbers say
The file's target of roughly 40 tonnes of oil from 200 tonnes of olives a day implies a 20% yield. That is a realistic upper band for oil olives; yield varies by variety, ripeness and year, as our yield calculator sets out.
"About 100 days a season" is a reminder of olive processing's basic constraint: the plant runs for roughly a third of the year, and the return on investment is compressed into that window. We examined the cost structure of processing plants in from tree to shelf.
⚠ The decision does not mean the plant is built: according to the file, construction has not begun. A positive EIA decision marks the completion of the environmental assessment stage.
