The mission was composed of: Gordon C. Billington (chief of mission),Gene D. Reese (agricultural adviser),Don Mlitchell(consultant, agronomist), Jacobus van Assen (consul- tant, irrigationengineer), Bertil Walstedt (industrialadviser),, Andrew Freyman (consultant,mining and metallurgy expert), David Beaton (consultant, metal fabricatingand engineeringreport), Antoino Bassili (UNIDO consultant, forest industriesexpert), Milivoje M. Stojancvic (industrialeconomist), Cyril J. Martin (planningadviser - organizationand machinery o:Eplanning), N. Dean Ganjai (IMF Consultant,fiscal adviser), Francesco Gallo (general economist),Hajo Lell (general economist),Josefina Vial (nationalaccounts), Rosalinda Dacumos (statisticalassistant), Zoe! Carson (secretary). The industrialteam was headed by Mr. Walstedt and the agricultural group by Mr. Reese. The sector volumes of the report also draw on other special studies on Turkey, initiated or undertakenby Bank staff, in related fields, notably textiles (by James Nannery, consultant),petro-chemicals and fertilizers (by Erich Becker-Boostof IFC Staff). 4 IV t S TABLE OF CONTENTS Page SU'MI4ARY. ,.... i 1.

In 1948-1961,manufacturing output growing at 5% per year barely kept pace with GDP. In contrast, during the 1960's,manufacturing has grown by over 10% per year. An upsurge in private sector investmentscontributed to a steady increase in the share of manufacturingin the total gross nation- al product. A large number of importantnew projects have been put in the pipeline. Foreign industrialparticipations are growing, permitting new departures in e.g. the manufactureof motor vehicles and tractors and in fertilizersproduction. ii. During the last six years (1963-1969),the output of certain "new" industries approximately doubled. Output of machinery quadrupled -- albeit from a very low base in 1963. The second highest growth rate was in steel, reflecting the coming into producl:ionof the first stage of Erdemir's flat products mill on the Black Sea. Though fertilizer produc- tion doubled, it is still far from meeting the country'srequirements. ConsideringTurkey's forest resources, the 48% growth rate for pulp and paper productionwas disappointing. iii. For a country its size, Turkey represents an extreme case of import substitution. During the 1960's the position of autarchy was accentuated,with the share of imports in the total supply of manufac- tured products falling from 15.6% in 1963 to 8.7% in 1969. Most of the import substitutionoccurred in steel, machinery and transport:equipment. iv. Exports of manufacturedgoods are small though they have been increasingby more than 12% per year since 1963. A high proportion of man- ufactured exports represent processed agriculturalproducts. Nevertheless, increased export incentivesand Government exhortationhave aLso led to exports of more typical factory products, particularlytextiles but also a small volume of refrigerators,radiators, ship repairs, etc. v. Measured by the net protectionactually utilized, Turkey is competitiveover a wide range of consumer goods, mainly non-durables. Here lies a considerableexport potential once integrationwith the Common Market becomes effective. In contrast, competitivenessin dura- ble consumer goods is relatively poor, and it is very low for tractors, motor vehicles, and certain types of machinery. Great variations in the protection needed for different items within the same product group suggest deficienciesin resource allocation in a closed and small market. vi. Today, growth in manufacturingis handicappedby the all-per- vasive foreign exchange constraint. One tractor company, during the mission's visit, was at a complete standstillbecause of a shortage of imported parts and components. Another serious constraint iE capacity bottlenecks,e.g. in steel, cement, textiles,and electrical equipment. ii - For the long-term outlook, however, the decisive factor of success or failure will be the orientationand quality of the country's industrial structure. Present industrialStructure vii. The "new" in-,dustrialmaterials and equipment industries,includ- ing steel, fertilizers, auchinery,motor vehicles, tractors,etc. today account for roughly te seameproportion of the total value added
