The Largest Exports in Elazığ's History Achieved in 2022

The year 2022 closed with a historic record for Elazığ. Elazığ's exports had broken a record the previous year, amounting to 335 million 893 thousand Dollars. In 2022, exports amounted to 373 million 667 thousand Dollars, reaching the highest export figure in its history. President Alan said, “In the 100th Year of our Republic, we will improve on this record as well.”

We congratulate our Members who have not abandoned their determined stance on production.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry İdris Alan assessed the 2022 export figures announced by the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM). President Alan used the following expressions: “With the data we have obtained from TİM, we see that our Elazığ has reached the highest export figure in its history. I wholeheartedly congratulate our members who, despite rising inflation and crises all over the world, have not refrained from producing and exporting. When we consider the potential of our Elazığ, we think that it is still very far from where it deserves to be, and we are developing our projects on this basis. In the 100th Year of our Republic, Elazığ will improve on the export record it broke in 2022.”

6th Region Incentives play an important role in the improvement of these statistics.

President Alan said: “Our TOBB President Mr. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu had honoured us with his words to me, ‘Bringing the 6th Region Incentives to Elazığ is your work.’ If we are proud of our export figure today, we need to draw attention to certain points. Another figure that needs to be examined carefully from that day to this is our increasing employment and the increase in the number of factories. The contribution of this valuable statistic to our exports is an undeniable fact. We are people who are honoured to serve our Elazığ, and when the time comes, we take pride in it. We are doing everything we can, and will continue to do so, to increase the production, trade volume and exports of our Elazığ.”

Our Digital Transformation drive will carry our exports to much more significant levels.

As we stated during the election period, we are launching our “Digital Transformation” drive. The effects of this transformation will show themselves in a short time. By implementing, specifically for Elazığ, a holistic sum of export development projects that have been tried piecemeal by many institutions but could not reach effective local use or spread to the grassroots, by gathering our city's export volume in a single centre, and by effectively supporting our members, Elazığ CCI will assume a much more active role in exports. We will make serious initiatives in Digital transformation, especially so that exports can spread to the grassroots among local tradespeople. Thus, since through digital transformation we will also offer local tradespeople all the requirements of exporting as well as Market conditions and potentials, the opportunity to export will be created for our local tradespeople as well, without being limited only to companies that export continuously. With the development of our digital service, we will make Elazığ a city with a say in Exports.
