Turkey is one of the five largest olive oil producers in the world; the country satisfies domestic demand to its fullest extent, and also exports olive oil to several countries. Despite this positive outlook, discontent among relevant stakeholders in the olive oil value chain indicates that regulatory decisions in the industry need to be revised and improved. The value of olive oil has a much more complicated structure than a standard mere summation of costs and profit margins. The need to explain analytically, mathematically, and comparatively how the "value" is created in the olive oil value chain and to understand the effects of possible regulatory decisions in improving the value gained by the relevant stakeholders is a nonlinear dynamic feedback problem. In order to model and simulate complex and dynamic systems, the system dynamics approach and its tools are used in industrial and systems engineering. The objectives of this study were: (1) to define the products, processes, and relevant stakeholders in the olive oil value chain, (2) to conduct data analyses in order to assess the "value" added and gained by the relevant stakeholders in the value chain, and (3) to build a system dynamics model to represent the behavior of the Turkish olive oil value dynamics, and to make decision and scenario analyses in order to improve the "value" gained by the relevant stakeholders with the system dynamics model developed.

Biogas production from pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) processing waste
Celik, I.; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2015-10-01)
Turkey is the third largest producer of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) after Iran and United States. Harvested pistachio nuts are covered with organic hull which is removed by de-hulling process. Most of the pistachio by-products which are produced during de-hulling process are considered as agricultural waste and often mixed with soil, to a lesser extent are used as feedstuff by local livestock farmers and a small portion is used as herbal medicine. Due to its high organic and phenolic content as well as hig...
Geological Considerations for the Economic Evaluation of Turkish Oil Shale Deposits and Their Combustion-Pyrolysis Behavior
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
The oil shale deposits in Turkey are widely distributed in middle and western Anatolia. Turkish oil shales are of Palaeocene-Eocene and middle upper Miocene age. Current reserves of oil shales are approximately 2,220 million tons (total reserve) and mainly are located in Himmetoglu, Seyitomer, Beypazari, and Hatildag deposits. Some petrological, geochemical, Fisher Assay, and fluidized combustion tests are performed for these oil shale fields, and it was concluded that Himmetoglu oil shale is the most appro...
Biotechnological Developments in Turkey
Özcengiz, Gülay (Informa UK Limited, 1996-1)
Turkey is a country not usually associated with industrial biotechnology. However, when current research potential in universities and other R & D centers and particularly contributions made to the international literature since the mid-1980s are taken into account, high-quality international-level work is now commonplace, especially in areas such as industrial microbiology, enzyme technology, biomaterials and biological wastewater treatment. Work in plant biotechnology is at a relatively early stage, but i...
Turkish olive and olive oil sectoral innovation system: a functional - structural analysis
Pehlivan Gürkan, Nilgün; Erdil, Erkan; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2015)
The main purpose of this thesis is to explore problems that inhibit development of the olive and olive oil sector in Turkey. Olive productivity and olive oil product quality is low in Turkey compared to leader olive producing countries, Spain and Italy. Turkey is at the low end of the global olive oil value chain with high share of bulk olive oil exports and low share of high value added, branded exports. The competition in global markets is increasing and product standards are more stringent. Informal prod...
STABILITY AND FAILURE ANALYSIS OF EXCAVATIONS USED FOR UNDERGROUND MINING OF BATI RAMAN OIL FIELD
Emci, Mehmet Emircan; Öztürk, Hasan; Department of Mining Engineering (2021-11-8)
Batı Raman holds the Turkey's proven largest oil reserve (1.85 billion barrels). The reserve is located at an average depth of 1450 m within a fractured limestone. This heavy oil has a 12° API gravity and a viscosity of 200-2000 cp. A future plan for this reserve is to use a "mining assisted heavy oil production" method. The idea behind this method is to reach the reserve by a decline from the surface and continue opening up galleries beneath the reserve from which fan shape up holes will be drilled in the ...
