Its story
The İpsala Plain is a fertile flatland watered by the Meriç and Ergene rivers and protected from floods by embankments built in the 1960s. It is known that horses were bred for the army in these meadows in the Ottoman period. Today the plain supplies a significant share of Türkiye's rice production, and İpsala Rice was registered as a designation of origin in 2016 and subsequently gained protection in the EU as well. The paddy fields, green in June and golden yellow in September, are especially attractive for photography.
