Middle Anatolia Development Agency
Key Competitive Attractions
The Middle Anatolia Development Agency covers the provinces of Kayseri, Sivas and Yozgat.
Kayseri is a major city in central Anatolia with a population above 1 million. The city is often referred to as one of the Anatolian tigers, on account of its favourable business climate and impressive economic growth record since 2000. The principal industries are textiles and furniture. There are 3 Industrial Zones (OIZ) and one Economic Free Zone within the province. In addition, Kayseri is a market for carpets, which brings in tourists en route to Cappadocia.
The economies of Sivas and Yozgat are based largely on agriculture and animal husbandry. Sivas also has considerable potential for the mining industry.
