Socotab Yaprak Tütün Sanayi ve Ticaret AS (SYT) is headquartered in Kemalpasa, Izmir,
where the company has a processing plant and warehousing complex. A new processing line has been recently installed, which utilizes all of the latest leaf processing technology available.

Since the 1960s, Socotab has been active
in the Turkish market and is today among
the largest private purchasers of oriental tobacco
in Turkey. The company principally handles Izmir,
Samsun and Basma varieties, with the majority
of tobacco processed destined for export.

SYT runs regular training seminars for its contracted
farmers, as well as distributing advisory printed
information on environmental protection, pesticides,
safety, baling and growing practices. As with all
Socotab companies, SYT values our relationship
with our farming partners and works to build
a sustainable future.
