Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the government has recently taken new steps to
support agriculture, employment, trade and industry, “However, many of our
members, our citizens, are unaware of the support and new incentives provided.
Our state provides incentives, but there are not many applications which leaves
much of available resources underutilized. Here we are launching a new campaign
to provide this information.”
