Furthermore, we want to export %30 of our products to abroad.
Anything you would like especially to highlight?
Our country has been exporting to many countries of the world and it is number one supplier of Europe in this sector. In order to stimulate the supply, demand and employment the most important requirement of this industry is definitely raw materials. Our country has very appropriate land conditions on this geography. But this issue was underestimated caused by wrong agricultural land policies. We have been importing major part of our raw material requirements. This case naturally raises the cost rates. This, in its turn, puts us in difficult situation under the harsh global competition conditions.
