The message of the President

Doner, Turkey´s most well-known and loved food in the world, is no longer unclaimed, we are protecting the richest flavor treasure of our culture.

Wherever you go in the world, people feel as if they are inside the borders of Turkey when they enter a company that produces Doner, and think about Turkey while enjoying that insatiable flavor.

Every day, close to 500 million people have doner kebab in their hands, taste on their palate and Turkey on their minds.

Döner is Turkey´s global power, national culture and tourism ambassador. It is also one of Turkey´s largest economic items.

How Does?

In addition to the millions of people it employs in Turkey and the world, and the added value it produces, Döner´s sub-industry and billions of dollars of foreign currency inflow are the plus of our country.

Döner means not only doner but also Döner Turkey.

When a message is wanted to be given to Turkey and Turks abroad, it is given via Döner.

Our national cultural treasure and taste, Döner, which has risen with the individual successes of Turkish people at home and abroad, has unfortunately been left to institutional dereliction until today.

There is now UDOFED

With the aim of institutionalizing the doner sector and gaining a reputation in the world, we set out on a blessed journey with the important names of the doner sector in order to find solutions to the problems accumulated in different geographies.

As the International Doner Doner Federation (UDOFED), we continue on our way with firm steps in order to represent the Doner and Doner Doner sector in a more professional and stronger way both at home and abroad.

In the Doner Sector we represent, unfortunately, human health is threatened with unfair and unlawful competition at many points. We will put a stop to this understanding, which disregards consumer health, with under-the-counter productions under unhealthy and unhygienic conditions, without considering food safety, and we will definitely prevent it.

UDOFED is the representative, voice and advocate of the Doner sector, not only in Turkey but wherever there is Doner.

Doner fights where it deserves Those who try to prevent its success at the global level, and those who harm our national value with unfair competition will always find UDOFED against them.

Doner has different problems in every country. We are aware of and follow the problems experienced everywhere, especially in our country. We are here to oppose any initiative that undermines the national value of Döner in a world where there is a global food war.

Seeing you, our esteemed Döner friends, by our side in this difficult and just struggle will make us stronger.

My respect, love and gratitude to all of you.

Mehmet Mercan
President of UDOFED
