Purpose Agricultural sector not only meets the nutritional requirements of all living creatures but also generates the primary source of the raw material provided by various branches of industry to fulfill their functions. It is of great importance to increase studies on oilseeds which have an important role in Turkey's agricultural products. They are grown in almost all of the country, which are vital for the nutrition and many sectors. The main purpose of the study is to offer an integrated approach to determine potential warehouse locations for oilseeds. Design/methodology/approach This is the first study that integrates Delphi, analytical hierarchical process (AHP), technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), P-Median and Panel data analysis in a real case. This integrated approach consists of the following steps, respectively: (1) The criteria were determined by the Delphi method. (2) The weights of the criteria were calculated by AHP and the provinces with the highest oilseed warehouse potential in seven regions of Turkey were specified by TOPSIS. (3) Oilseed warehouse numbers and locations were obtained by P-Median. (4) In order to answer whether the distribution network is profitable in the future with the determined center locations, a forecast model based on panel data analysis was created. (5) Regional representatives were determined for 2030, and the distribution network was analyzed again. (6) The costs that arose in 2018 and 2030 were computed and compared by cost analysis. (7) The effect of the change in criteria weights on the alternative results was tested by scenario analysis. Findings The findings indicated that oilseed crop production potential and oilseed crop production area turned out to be the most important criteria. Furthermore, the results showed that this model is robust and suitable for warehouse location selection studies. Practical implications The study can serve as a guide for local and central policy makers with both the criteria it uses and the model it develops. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is that the integrated approach has been used for the first time in location selection in a real case.

The fact that the production and consumption amounts are different from each other gives a dynamic feature to the concept of storage. In addition, an effective storage activity hinges upon the selection of the right warehouse location that takes into account capital and labor investments; minimizes the transportation cost and time. The aim of this study is to investigate the preliminary researches in the selection of the warehouse location selection and to present information on which success factors and methods are preferred. Within this scope, many academic studies have been examined by filtering various databases. According to the results of the study, the most used methods in warehouse location selection are multi-criteria decision making methods such as AHP, ANP and TOPSIS; and the most commonly used success factor is determined as the cost-based factors.
