The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) Vice President Tamer Kıran attended the First Step in Exports in 81 Provinces Promotion Meeting held at the Dolmabahçe Presidential Office under the chairmanship of Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan.
“We are launching our First Step in Exports
in 81 Provinces Program, which is a program which will work directly in the
field and on a company-by-company basis in a way which completes all our work
and projects,” Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan said at the meeting.
Pekcan, pointing out that this program they
are launching as the Ministry is very special in improving and increasing Turkey's
exports as well as extending the country’s reach.
As the name of the program suggests, it
aims to assist companies in 81 provinces with the potential which have not yet
exported to take the first step to make their first exports, Minister Pekcan
said, “With its widespread quality in 81 provinces throughout Anatolia, this
program will be perhaps the most impactful export mobilization program
implemented in the history of our economy. This is how we view it and expect it
to affect the country and our exports as a whole. Spreading our exports to
grassroots has always been one of the priorities of our Ministry. We are as
excited and proud as our companies are preparing to take their first step into
exports.”
