February 2022 | About Us
Ukraine is the largest country located
entirely within Europe. With the
establishment of the powerful Kievan
Principality, which formed the basis of
Ukrainian identity in the Middle Ages, it
became an important center of East Slavic
culture.
Most of the trade between Ukraine and
Turkey consists of textile and ready-made
clothing products.
Due to the fact that the products imported
from Turkey are economical, Ukraine meets
approximately 70% of its textile products
from Turkey. Mostly by sea, land and air
cargo are also used in imports and exports
between the two countries. Another form
of trade is the suitcase trade. It happens
when people coming from Ukraine sell
the goods they brought with them in their
suitcases in Turkey and take the goods they
bought from here back to their countries.
Ukraine, which is our 18th largest market
in our ready-to-wear and apparel exports,
ranks 19th in our total textile and raw
materials exports.
In Ukrainian trade, there is trade secret
protection. Administrative sanctions
are carried out by the Anti-Monopoly
Committee.
In the January-April period of 2021, $
61.6 million worth of ready-to-wear and
apparel exports and $42.2 million worth of
textiles and raw materials were exported to
Ukraine. Ukraine, which is the 49th largest
exporter in the world with $49.4 billion, is
the 48th largest importer in the world with
$54 billion. As Ukraine’s largest apparel
and apparel supplier is China, which has
a share of 34.8% with a value of $ 374.1
million, and Turkey becomes the second
supplier country with a 19.9% share and
an import of 213.7 million dollars.
Located on historical trade routes, Odessa,
as the largest port of the Black Sea, provides
the commercial link between the “East” and
the “West”. The 18 most important ports of
Ukraine are located within the borders of
Odessa Region. 73.5% of the total volume
of cargo transferred at Odessa ports is
export cargo.
Most of the companies in Mariupol
are Turkish
The majority of the companies in the
industrial zone to be established in
Mariupol City are Turkish companies.
Work is underway for the construction

the statement made by the Mariupol City
Council, it was stated that within the scope
of the agreement, an initial investment
of 250 million hryvnia (approximately 9
million dollars) will be made in the region.

for 600 people in the industrial zone to
be established. It is foreseen that the

produce elevators, metal structures and
automotive spare parts, will consist of 7
sections.
It is planned to include 11 factories and a
trade center on the land, which is collected
free of charge by the Ukrainian State and
