Turkey holds an important place in the production, consumption, imports and exports of cotton yarn, and investments in short staple machinery within the country. The development of the country's export-oriented textile and apparel industry is attributed to factors such as quality raw material produced, price efficiency, cheap labor, and low cost per unit. Turkey is the second biggest importer of cotton fiber, with an approx. 350,000 tons of cotton fiber annually, and plays a big role in the cotton fiber prices in the world. The country is the fifth biggest cotton yarn producer of the world, with a 5% share in the world cotton yarn production. Turkey will move forward and provide better competing conditions by setting its own marketing services, connecting with customers, and directing to the building brands instead of working with merchants
