Machines produced by BKS include soil preparation machines, cultivators, chisels, tillers, disc harrows, rippers, flat harrows and inter-row cultivators.

 

Mr. Berk Bardakçioglu, Foreign Trade Manager at BKS said the company did not currently have any operations in West Africa but was open to exploring the opportunities available in Ghana and in the sub-region.

Ghana's team briefed them on the nature of agriculture in Ghana and the types of soils available but urged the company to visit and conduct some research in order to develop products that would suit the soil and the West African terrain in general and Ghana in particular.
