Supply bases will also play a major role in reducing fast delivery and return costs in e-export. With the Chinese e-commerce platform, which is among the top three in the world, we will be signing new collaborations for food.

Logistics centers will be a turning point for exporters with the advantages they provide both in transportation costs and supply. On the other hand, our Turkish Trade Centers (TTM) operate in 7 countries to promote, store, logistically and financially, and facilitate their entry into the market.

In the coming period, it will be a springboard for us to reach foreign buyers more easily and increase the effectiveness of e-commerce. Even if you make the best product in the world, if you do not have a professional service network, you cannot sell your product.
