As Türkiye's leading frozen potato producer and one of Europe's top processors, we are pleased to build on our solid performance from the previous period. During this period, we maintained the strength of our sustainable production model by integrating every stage of the value chain—from sourcing seeds to delivering high-quality products to customers worldwide.
In the first half of 2024, our financial and operational results reflect our commitment to excellence. After IAS29 inflationary adjustments, we achieved a revenue milestone of 1.7 billion TL for H1 2024, representing real growth of 18% year-over-year. Our operational profit reached 310 million TL, showcasing our ability to maintain profitability despite the complex global economic environment. Pre-adjustment numbers before IAS29 also highlight our strong business performance, with H1 revenues growing by 101% to approximately 1.6 billion TL. Operational profitability showed robust growth, standing at 582 million TL in H1, a 137% increase. This strong performance positively impacted on our bottom line, reaching 562 million TL, representing an impressive 398% growth.
Our strategic partnership with TFI Tab Food Investments continues to be a key driver of our success. We have maintained strong supply channels with over 3,200 restaurants across Türkiye and China, reinforcing our presence in these critical markets. In Q2 2024, production rose 55% year-on-year to 10K tonnes, with first-half output up 73% to 28K tonnes. Q2 2024 sales reached 16K tonnes, up 24% year-on-year, with first-half sales rising 27% to 32K tonnes.
The most significant growth came from third-party sales, which surged 62% in H1 to 8K tonnes, with 69% of these sales attributed to major retailer accounts. As we expand alongside our largest client, Tab Gıda, enhancing third-party sales remains crucial to our strategy. While Q2 export sales remained steady at 1K tonnes, H1 exports saw a 214% increase to 6K tonnes,
driven by strong Q1 results. Our sustained efforts to penetrate the Chinese market have been fruitful, as we continue to gain traction and strengthen our foothold in this competitive region.
In closing, our commitment to optimizing supply chain and production capabilities remains steadfast as we adapt to rising future demands. Our focus on maintaining financial discipline and managing costs effectively ensures sustainable growth and strengthens our financial structure. Our strong performance in the first half of 2024 demonstrates our ability to thrive in a challenging economic environment. We will continue to leverage our strategic partnerships, expand our market presence, and enhance our operational efficiency to drive future growth and deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders.
We sincerely thank all our stakeholders: our employees for their dedication, our ecosystem partners for their support, our farmers for their crucial partnership, our investors for their continued confidence, and our customers for their trust and collaboration.
We are the exclusive supplier to over 3,200 quick-service restaurants both domestically and internationally, showcasing our efficiency and reliability in meeting their potato demands. Our management over the entire process, from seed to final product, continues to provide us advantages and enhances our competitive edge in both domestic and international markets. Atakey continues to process one out of every five kilograms of frozen potato products in the industry, highlighting our central role and commitment to quality and volume.
Our potato harvest is progressing well, with expected completion by November 2024 and a forecasted yield of approximately 140K tonnes. Additionally, we have secured contracts for 3,5K tonnes of onions for our new production line, demonstrating our effective supply chain management.
We will enhance our production capabilities with a new production line in Q4 2024, adding 10K tonnes of capacity. For 2024, we project a production volume of around 75K tonnes of potatoes, maintaining our leadership in the frozen potato sector.
Our positioning for profitable growth is supported by our strong ecosystem and diversified sales channels. TF Holding operates through two main segments: Atakey and restaurant operators, including Tab Gıda and China, making us the fourth-largest QSR operator globally.
