Turkey's Industrialists Federation (TUSAF) President Günhan Ulusoy shared his views about the agenda to a private television channel in Turkey. Indicating that the food and agriculture sector is as important as the health sector, Ulusoy stated that if we give the opportunity for a disruption in our food chain to evolve, it may cause larger problems in the future.
Ulusoy noted that Turkey's flour industry is very strong ad will continue to flourish.
Answering a question about transition to automation, Ulusoy expressed his thoughts as follows, 'There are 523 enterprises and 20,000 direct jobs in our industry. Very few people are needed during the production phase. The main need is people in the packaging area.'
TUSAF President Ulusoy also added that, even if a decision is made in this direction, it will take at least an average of six months to implement, and that automation in the enterprises depends on the machinery manufacturers.
In his statements, Mr Ulusoy also noted that looking at the flour consumption map per capita, there is more consumption in the east compared to the west, while the average is 160kg per person per year. The situation is now above average, the retail shelves are empty in the west and new products are replaced quickly.
