Kaçak emphasized that Turkey's woodworking machinery industry, in the last four years including 2019, is one of a limited number of sectors having no foreign trade deficit .

"Sector exports in the first eight months of 2019 increased 2.5 times the import of sector products.  The ratio of import/export which was 54.8 percent in 2014, has reached the highest level of 239.2 percent in the eight months of 2019," he added.

"Despite the contraction in all sectors, we predict to close 2019 with 100 million dollars of export, 50 million dollars of import and 280 million dollars of production under the influence of fairs. Based on these figures, 2020 by showing an increase of 5 percent to 10 percent, I think the rise will continue where we left," he concluded...
