Turkey Procurement

An Unique Opportunity in Textile and Fashion Sourcing

Turkey has a peculiar location as its territory is spread over both Asia and Europe. After 1995, Turkey’s proximity to European Union opened up trading fortunes of this country. According to latest reports, the economy of this nation is dominated by services sector which contributes 63 percent towards national GDP (gross domestic product), followed by 28 percent contributed by the industrial sector. Agricultural sector in contrast, contributes about 9 percent towards GDP. This interesting combination of industry, agriculture and services makes Turkey procurement a matter of interest among industrialists and business houses.

This nation imports from Russia, Germany, Italy, United States, China and Iran.
