Çetin Tecdelioğlu, President of Istanbul Iron and Non-Ferrous Materials Exporters' Association (IDDMİB) and Hırdavat Sa ⁇ nayici and Businessmen's Association (HISİAD), drew attention to the danger bells that await both the sector they are in and the country's exports. Tecdelioğlu, who stated that the Turkish exporter could not keep a price not only in the Far East but also in the face of European competitors, lost the ⁇ Rus ⁇ ya and the Türk Cumhuriyetle ⁇ ri market to Çin ⁇ e. We have no chance to compete in undeveloped countries. Since the quality expectation is high in more developed countries than us, we cannot provide price competition.
The price of china is as much as our raw material price. The scissors in between said 50 ⁇ . According to Tecdelioğlu, who says that Turkey cannot compete with countries such as Italy and Poland, the reason for this is the exchange rate, which does not increase in parallel with inflation. Tecdelioğlu, who said ⁇ No profit left, we sell at a loss ⁇ , ⁇ Because I took a loan from the bank. In return, I made an export commitment. I have to take that sipa ⁇ riş to fulfill that commitment. Otherwise, we will be punished by the bank. Tecdelioğlu added that sa ⁇ nayici avoided investment due to the shrinkage of the sector.
⁇ Investment in Egypt finishes the industry in Turkey ⁇ ⁇
Reminding that many sectors from Turkey, especially textile, have invested in Egypt, Tecdelioğlu stated that investments have shifted especially in areas that do not require sub-industry. Tecdelioğlu noted that there are also outgoing investments in the hardware field, but that the production in this area, which requires sub-industry, will not be coke, and drew attention to a great risk.
Tec ⁇ delioğlu said: ⁇ A fab ⁇ rika would not be without sub-industry. Today the textile worker went to Egypt. But the technologist doesn't need sub-industry. Today, an automotive sector cannot go to Egypt and build a factory. It is not possible to invest in the hand tool sector Egypt ⁇ . There's no chipper. There's no sub-industry. It's not appropriate. But if our exporter invests in Egypt and tries to create his own sub-industry, then we will lose our industry.
⁇ Industrial clustering model according to provinces ⁇
Tecdelioğlu pointed out that instead of missing the industry to Egypt, Turkey should create its own industrial strategy, and if we do not have industrial strategy, we will miss the train. We need to get to the clustering mode. We should determine 81 sectors in 81 provinces and direct investments according to which sector stands out in which province. ⁇ said.
Tecdelioğ ⁇ lu, who also draws attention to the problem of qualified personnel in the industry, said that some companies that work on a world scale and have had the opportunity in the global market reduce shifts because they cannot find workers to work, they cannot get sipa ⁇ riş. Stating that the basis of master training is in small industry, Tecdelioğlu continued as follows: We need to establish small industries and train our masters here and send my main industries as incubators. State Planning Organization should be established. ⁇
⁇ We still have a 70-storey market in AB ⁇
On the other hand, Tecdelioğlu, who also explains the strategies for new markets in exports, has a strategy for Islamic countries as well as a strategy for distant countries. All of these are correctly planned strategic studies. On the one hand, there is the European Union. Still 55 ⁇ i of our exports are made to Avru ⁇ pa ⁇ ya, we cannot give up. There are still 70 times more markets than the goods we sell in AB ⁇ . In other words, if we can establish good logistics centers in AB ⁇ and create a strategy with its sub-base on a sectoral basis, we can still benefit much more from AB ⁇ ⁇ .
Support for 4 vocational high schools in 4 provinces in 2025
HISİAD has visited its colleagues in 6 provinces so far with the decision it has put into practice. The association, which also included the shortage of trained staff on its agenda, started to support vocational high schools for social responsibility purposes. The association, which first introduced machines to Ordu-Fatsa Gazi Vocational and Technical Ana ⁇ dolu High School, will support 4 different schools in 4 provinces in 2025. Çetin Tecdelioğlu, who invited all chambers of commerce and industry to be a part of vocational high schools, said ⁇ In this way, we ensure that both the career planning of the students, our students meet with the industry and the schools become a preferable school ⁇ .
⁇ Let's not make BRICS ⁇ bigger in our eyes ⁇
Commenting on Turkey's possible BRICS membership, Çetin Tecdelioğlu said that ⁇ BRICS ⁇ i is growing in our eyes. The BRICS is a political cluster, not an economic cluster. The BRICS does not even have an economic platform or a general secretariat among themselves. It's just a plan. On the other hand, 45 percent of the world society and 37 percent of the world economy said BRICS ⁇ in.
We should deepen in Afrika ⁇ without losing to ⁇ China ⁇
Pointing out that the African market is developing very fast, Tecdelioğlu noted that the consumption in Afrika ⁇ changed by 40 percent at a time with the gross national product of $ 3,000 being $ 4,000, and a difference of ⁇ Thousand dollars increases the consumption in the society by 40 percent at a time. It is an ideal market for Turkey with an increase of 40 percent, which creates a market with its packaging, plastic, glassware, door-window joinery. He emphasized that we need to deepen Afri ⁇ ka ⁇ without losing the Chinese ⁇ e, Indians ⁇ a and Europeans ⁇ a.
