Industries
- Agriculture
Historically, the agriculture sector has been Turkey's largest employer and a major contributor to the country's GDP, exports and industrial growth. However, as the country has developed, agriculture has declined in importance relative to the rapidly growing industry and services sectors.
Although the share of agriculture in the Turkish economy has tended to fall over a period of several decades due to the increase in industrial and services sectors, it still accounts for a relatively larger share of total output and employment than in many other countries. Agriculture's share of GDP declined from 35 percent in 1970 to 22 percent in 1980 and to 14 percent in 2000.

The present globalisation of world markets is due in large part to the internationalization of the services sector. Turkish construction services are one of the major sectors which contributes to the exports of the Turkish services sector.

Turkey is located at a strategic place between the Middle and Near East where rich oil and natural gas reserves prevail and the Western world where the main energy consumption takes place. Turkey has made remarkable contribution to the establishment of co-operation for the stability of the region and still keeps on maintaining her said policy. It is accepted that creating a balanced international co-operation setting is an important factor at acquiring more reliable energy supply policies.
]more - Furniture in Turkey
Furniture production in Turkey dates back to the 19th century and was done in small workshops as an artisan production. Today, furniture is produced both in workshops and industrial-scale manufacturing units. Furniture production is highly fragmented among a large number of small workshops. These small workshops play an important role in producing handcarved and handmade furniture. Workshops are flexible establishments in nature and have enough capacity and labor force to expand their production line in order to supply large orders. Most of existing furniture factories and large workshops have been in business since 1975. Large-scale furniture firms produce standard models by using automated mass-production techniques and most of their production is oriented towards exports.

Stuffed Vineleaves - Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is famed for the way it is made. It is prepared in an ibrik, a small coffee pot that is heated. Sugar is added during the brewing process, not after, so the need for a serving spoon is eliminated. Cream or milk is never added to Turkish coffee, and sugar is optional. It is always served in demitasse cups.
In some regions, your fortune is told by the placement of the coffee grinds left in the cup!]more
