Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his speech, “The commodity exchange chairman comes from a beekeeping background. He and his team are working around the clock for Muğla’s agriculture like bees. I would like to extend my gratitude to them.”

Emphasizing that office and positions of power are intended to serve, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “I see the good examples of this wherever I go. It is necessary to build structures to provide services. We must increase quality continually. Material conditions are essential. I visited all 365 chambers and exchanges in 2001 after I was elected president. They were working out of single rooms. This mentality is now gone. 245 of them have moved into new office buildings of their own from which they are providing services. Just a single example is the office building of the Muğla Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MUTSO) which we opened three years ago.”

Stating that the new office building will be used to provide the best service to the farmers and traders of Muğla, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “This is your home. It is important to increase the quality of service. The completion of the Commodity Exchange’s new service building will allow it to bring you services and prosperity.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu went on, “You must appreciate the value of the plentiful Muğla geography. Muğla is the eighth most habitable province in Turkey. Be thankful for it. You are living in one of the most beautiful cities of the world. You’ve everything. There can be no better opportunity.”
