About Us

Arı Tarım Ürünleri Pazarlama Ticaret ve Sanayi A.Ş. (TAX ID 0740051428) started its activities in 1983. The beginning of our founders' cotton trade dates back to the early 19th century.

One of our founding partners, Pagysa's history dates back to the 1800s. Vitali Meshulam, one of our founding partners, was a sole proprietorship, operating in the 1960s. Arı Pamuk Tic Ltd Şti was established in 1965 but was closed in 2010 in order to operate from a single source.

Our company continued its function as one of the important cotton exporters of Turkey until the 1990s. With the 90's, the capacity increase rate in the industry made Turkey a net importer. Our company has also become an import representative and, from time to time, a de facto importer within the framework of the realities of the country. At first, the companies we exported as traders were Bunge, Cottip, Otto, Stern, Albrecht Müller, CDI.

Later, Dunavant became the sole authorized representative of the firm. Later, the representative office of Jess Smith and Libero companies was added and continued. With the acquisition of Dunavant company by L.Dreyfus company, the representation of Louis Dreyfus company was also among our duties.

With the Louis Dreyfus Turkiye office, we also act as an intermediary in both the purchase and sale of Turkish cotton. In addition, we have cooperation with Otto Stadtlander GMBH Germany and Violar /Greece in both domestic and imported cotton.
