Abstract

The main purpose of the existence of free zones in the world is to increase the volume of trade between the countries. In addition to this purpose, it is aimed in creating new employment positions and contributing them to the economy by opening up new business areas. The geographical position of Turkey is very important, and certainly it affects the international business activities in Turkey. In this context, there are 19 free zones in Turkey, and there are hundreds of effective companies operating in these important free zones. In this study these free zones will be assessed as the basis of general business activities annually. On the other hand, trade volumes of the free zones will be assessed in terms of products such as vegetable products, livestock products, fishery products, forestry products, mining and quarrying, processed agricultural products, processed petroleum products, and industrial products. In addition, trade volumes between Turkey and other countries such as OECD and EU countries, other OECD countries, the Commonwealth of Independent States, North Africa, and the Middle East will be compared and analyzed.
