The tertiary PSB Anatolia International Landscape , Ornamental Plants , Gardening Arts , and Equipment Fair took place in the Sapanca territorial dominion of Sakarya . At the fair held on an area of 60,000 square cadence in Sapanca Kirkpinar location , 240 companies and 24 municipality exhibited their products . The bazaar , which lasted until September 9 , attracted great interest .
Savas Akcan , the President of the Turkish Seed Growers Association and also the President of the Turkish Ornamental Plants Association , state that exports would increase further if the state provided serious support to the sector and said , " As a answer of serious efforts , we export 137 million dollars in 2022 . We can be a world leader in the industry .
The ornamental plants sphere was an import - oriented sphere until 3 - 4 years ago . As a result of serious efforts , when we bet at the 2022 data , we exported 137 million dollars and imported 40 million dollar . We have serious decorative flora exports to the Turkish Republics , Europe , and the Gulf res publica . Our country ’s Antalya region , Mediterranean coastline , Izmir neighborhood , Aegean coastline , and Sakarya and Yalova neighborhood are the main output sources of our exportation .
First of all , we live in a very suitable geography as ornamental industrial plant producer due to the geographic and climatical structure of our nation . If you liken it to Europe , we have a young population . Our geopolitical social organization is very suitable for exploitation . We believe that we will be a spherical drawing card in this plain . This sphere has a volume of 2 billion dollar . Our plowshare in exports is 6 % . We need to increase this to 30 - 40 % .
Now , the decorative plant sphere has an important issue that distinguishes it from other sectors within agriculture . For example , a sodbuster crony of mine who implant wheat berry today plants it in October and harvests it in June - July . There is a production period of 7 - 8 months . But we waitress at least a year . And there are products that last 5 - 6 year . Therefore , we run into very serious input price in such a production period . The billet of the country is light , and the domain economy is also percipient . Yes , the input costs of agriculture are increase day by day . But while we are struggling with this , we can not benefit from agrarian loanword as much as we should .
More importantly , we are the only sector in harvest production that has a time value - added tax of 20 % . Department of Agriculture is not a sector that can make grow without Department of State keep . We must commercialize Turkish products in globe market with peace of idea and successfully bring foreign currency to the country . Support should be given in this regard . If support is give , our growers will be most definitely successful in the global market . We show that we can bring home the bacon and vie with extraneous agriculturalist . Under such unmanageable condition , we exported 126 million dollars against 40 million dollars of implication . suppose what we could do if we were able-bodied to increase our exportation even further by receive some financial support from the state .
