Reflecting on our Q3 performance, we are pleased to note that our operational activities have progressed well, driving sustainable growth in both production and sales during the period.
Harvest season will finish by 127K tonnes of raw potatoes, ensuring strong stock levels to support our future production plans. We have also initiated the harvest of onions for our new production line. We anticipate approximately 3K tonnes of onions by year-end, further diversifying our product offerings and enhancing our production capabilities.
Over the past nine months, our production levels increased from 38K tonnes in 2023 to 50K tonnes in 2024, reflecting a 30% growth. On the sales front, we see a steady performance throughout the first three quarters, with a total of 47K tonnes sold—a 5% increase compared to the same period last year. This consistent performance underscores our ability to maintain a strong market presence. In response to economic challenges and headwinds, we are proactively seeking to create new sales opportunities and diversifying our sales strategies by enhancing our channel structure. As a result of our efforts, our third-party retail sales have seen a remarkable increase of 39% year-over-year, reaching 12K tonnes over the past nine months. Meanwhile, our export and Tab Gıda sales have remained stable in first 9 months of 2024 compared same period last year. Additionally, we are pleased to inform the completion of our investments in new products. Our efforts regarding the new production lines for onion rings and cheese sticks are set to begin production in November 2024.
Atakey continues to play a vital role in meeting one-fifth of Turkey's potato demand. This achievement underscores our capability of producing high-quality products and expanding our product range effectively. However, like all players across industries, we have encountered some macroeconomic challenges and headwinds during this period. Despite our diligent efforts to mitigate these effects operationally, our financial results were adversely impacted. We particularly observed the effects of inflation accounting adjustments. These adjustments primarily arise from the revaluation of non-monetary effects and we believe that they do not fully capture the strength of our underlying performance.
Despite these challenges, we remain committed to maintaining our strong market position and executing our business operations efficiently. As we look ahead, we are optimistic about our potential for profitable and sustainable growth.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated employees, investors and all stakeholders for their support. Together, we will navigate these challenges and continue our journey towards success.
As of the end of harvest season 127,000 tonnes of raw potatoes will be cultivated. This strong yield ensures that we have sufficient stock to support our future production plans, providing stability and predictability in our supply chain.
In addition to our core potato harvesting, we have also initiated the harvest of onions for our new production line. By the end of this year, we expect to have approximately 3,000 tonnes of
onions, which will further diversify our product offerings and strengthen our production capabilities. Production levels have seen a boost over the past nine months, increasing from 38 thousand tonnes in 2023 to 50 thousand tonnes in 2024, reflecting a solid 30% growth.
We will remain on track to reach 70,000 tonnes by maintaining the production volumes achieved in Q3, during the last quarter of this year.
Our sales remained steady throughout the first three quarters, resulting in a total of 47 thousand tonnes sold during the nine-month period—a 5% increase compared to the 45 thousand tonnes sold in the same period last year, representing 2 thousand tonnes more. This consistent performance reflects our ability to maintain a strong market presence.
Looking ahead to YE 2024, we expect total year-end sales to around 60,000 tonnes, aligning with last year's levels.
Thanks to our diversified channel structure, our third-party sales increased by 39% year-overyear, reaching 12 thousand tonnes over the past nine months. 3rd party share in total sales also rose by 6 percentage points to 24% in the same period. Our export and Tab Gıda sales have remained stable in 9 months comparison despite macroeconomic headwinds.
In comparing quarterly results, Tab Gıda represented 65% of our sales in Q3 2024, an increase from 55% last year. Third-party sales also continued to rise, reaching 26% of total sales in the same quarter. Although exports to China declined in Q3, this is largely due to the substantial volume exported during the same period last year. Overall, export levels for the nine-month period remained consistent, with a slight improvement compared to last year.
