The Total Number of Organized Industrial Zones in Turkey Rises to 366
Important developments have taken place in the last days of 2024 that will increase Turkey's industrial strength. Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacır announced the establishment of the Diyarbakır Silvan Food and Agricultural Industry Specialized Organized Industrial Zone and the Trabzon Araklı Ready-Made Clothing/Textile Specialized Organized Industrial Zone, and highlighted that the total number of organized industrial zones has risen to 366.
Advancements with New Organized Industrial Zones Minister Kacır stated in a post on the social media platform X that efforts to increase Turkey's production capacity continue unabated even on the last days of the year. He announced the opening of specialized organized industrial zones for food and agricultural industry in Diyarbakır Silvan and for ready-made clothing and textiles in Trabzon Araklı. Kacır emphasized that with these new organized industrial zones, a planned industrial area of approximately 3 million square meters has been created, highlighting the significance of this move for cities and the nation.
Simultaneously with the opening of the new industrial zones, Kacır expressed that these projects, aiming for economic development across Turkey, demonstrate the determination to elevate the country to the top in the industrial sector, stating, "We are working for comprehensive development from Edirne to Diyarbakır, from Trabzon to Antalya." These initiatives before the new year are viewed as a significant step towards increasing the economic efficiency of the country.
Message of Determination in Industrial Investments Another noteworthy point in Minister Kacır's message was the emphasis on balanced development achieved through the establishment of new organized industrial zones in different regions of Turkey. Specialty industrial zones opened in the east and west provide tailored solutions to the economic needs of the cities. These investments, particularly aimed at boosting sectors such as food, agriculture, and textiles, are seen as key elements of regional development.
Minister Kacır noted that Turkey continues to accelerate its industrial investments without slowing down and highlighted the contributions of the new organized industrial zones to the national economy. He pointed out that these investments will not only play a catalytic role in the industrial sector but also in job creation, emphasizing that all of these efforts will position Turkey more competitively on the global stage.
