Business with Turkey

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.

The hazelnut was native to the Black Sea coast long before our era, not as a cultivated product but growing wild on trees or shrubs on the steep slopes of the mountains that are parallel to the coast for hundreds of kilometers from east to west. Historic documents reveal that hazelnuts have been grown along the Black Sea coast in northern Turkey since 300 B.C.

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.

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.
