Attending the new service building of the Keşan Chamber of Commerce and Industry with the Minister of Health Mehmet Müezzinoğlu, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We will eliminate unemployment but what we need is to compete on a level playing field with our competitors.”​

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that the VAT on rice in the region has been reported to him and addressed Minister Müezzinoğlu, “There is a 1% tax on cracked wheat while there is 8% tax on rice. It has been requested that this be pulled back to 1% as well.”

 

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that they are prepared to support the seminar put forth by the Keşan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Mustafa Helvacıoğlu on the regulation for the institutionalization of family companies and went on to express that they are hopeful for the future of the country. Stating that the private sector has provided 5.5 million new jobs to the people during the crisis, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “We couldn’t stop if you tied us down. We yearn to run. We’ve become aware of the world.”

 

Stating that there is a large market to the West of Keşan, TOBB president Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “All you need to do is explore the surrounding region you are in. We must think about what we could market there.” Emphasizing the agricultural resources of the region, Hisarcıklıoğlu also pointed to great potential for livestock farming.
