In fact, it is not even a job to export 100 percent. We are not expanding too much to ensure that the producers in our country use our country’s resources. Our goal this year is to add added value to the product we produce. “We plan to intensively produce fabric from yarns and export them abroad. The added value this will provide looks very nice.”
