The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu attended the Value Added to the Economy Award Ceremony organized by the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Elazığ Commodity Exchange.
Hisarcıklıoğlu, who
visited the stand of the cooperatives and the Elazığ Geographical Products
Exhibition, stated in his opening speech that they came to Elazığ for good
deeds and said, “First of all, we opened the Quran Course and Mosques Preservation
Foundation of our Commodity Exchange President Ali Dumandağ. Then, we opened
the our Chamber’s Biogas Energy Plant. Now we have come together at the opening
of many beautiful endeavors.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
explained that Elazığ CCI's e-commerce portal offers its members the
opportunity to make more sales and earn profits, “With the fair it organizes,
it protects the local values of Elazığ. With Elazığ CCI Academy offers you
quality education services. Our Commodity Exchange cooperates with Euphrates
University to develop agriculture and animal husbandry. With our Regional
Commodity Exchanges, the Green Deal Regional Action Plan is being prepared. Our
Chamber and Commodity Exchange are cooperating to establish the Agriculture
Specialized OIZ, which will add great value to the livestock and food
industry.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu, noting
that the Mediation Center helps its members to resolve their legal disputes as
quickly as possible, said that commercial cases that last for years are
resolved in a period of 3 months.
Hisarcıklıoğlu,
reminding that Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Commodity Exchange
are accredited chambers / exchanges, stated that they provide 5-star service to
their members.
“We are working
together with both my 2 Presidents in Ankara,” Hisarcıklıoğlu said, adding that
Elazığ CCI and Elazığ CE presidents represented their members in the best way
in Ankara, that they both carried out activities that added value to Elazığ and
brought the problems of their members to Ankara and sought solutions.
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated
that they were looking for solutions to the problems with the heads of 365
chambers / commodity exchanges during the pandemic and said, “Together, we have
conveyed these to the government. We also got results from a significant part
of them. A lot of support and arrangements have been implemented. However, our
troubles are not over; of course there are problems. We are constantly voicing
these and trying to provide solutions.”
Stating that the way to
prosper is through trade, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “When there is peace, employment
begins, production begins. When there is peace, there is trade; and when there
is trade, there is wealth. There is a great appetite for investment here.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu stated
that the Turkish people have a dream of 120 years - a dream that was left
unfinished 60 years ago. Türkiye's automobile TOGG has undertaken this task. Noting
that Türkiye's TOGG factory will be opened on October 29, Hisarcıklıoğlu said,
“In March, God willing, you will be able to see TOGG cars in Elazığ while they
are on the streets. We have always been with Elazığ. We were here on all manner
of troubled days. We tried to do whatever we could.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu, drawing
attention to the importance of unity and solidarity, said, “Do not marginalize
each other. Our diversity is our richness. Don't marginalize a person just
because they think differently. Common purpose will be formed from different
ideas. Let's act with common purpose.”
