Situation analysis of the timber producers in Turkey Central Anatolia region

Summary/Abstract: It is necessary for producers to use their economic resources and integrate to foreign markets in order to survive. By doing so, they contribute to national economic growth and provide employment opportunities. Since it is crucial for a country to make use of the present raw material, we analysed the common problems that timber producers face and tried to find solutions to these problems. For this purpose, we conducted this study using the survey technique on timber producers in the provinces of the Central Anatolian Region. According to data we obtained, 89% of the producers use natural drying method, all of them determine product prices according to the cost, and process a minimum of 15 m3 of timber daily. The fact that the most of the participants were either elementary school or high school graduates shows that the education level of this industry is insufficient compared to other enterprises. Also, 98.2% of the participants didn’t export their products. This is a serious concern and possesses a danger for the future of the enterprises.
