50 COVER STORY • KAPAK DOSYASI BBM / MAYIS - HAZİRAN 2021 • MAY - JUNE 2021 NO UNFAIR COMPETITION What would you recommend to bakers to look to the future with confidence? I would recommend that, as in every sector, they should keep up their businesses with today's innova- tions, participate in national exhibitions and events, and bring technology to their businesses in the tech- nology age. Most importantly, I recommend that they give up the tradition of selling below cost as soon as possible. What would you like to say about the flour sector that has achieved great success in exports? What can be done to bring the idle capacity in the sector to the economy? Our country's flour industrialists export to 165 coun- tries. Due to these exports, it has made a great contri- bution to our country's economy with an input of one billion dollars in 2020. It is one of the driving sectors in exports. However, in addition to our exporting companies, our rate of idle capacity is also very high. In order to increase our exports further, our ministries can do ex- tensive R&D to make these enterprises with idle ca- pacity join exports. There are many flour factories with no machines inside. We have enterprises with very old machinery. If the idle capacity problem is solved, I am sure the sector will achieve greater success. EXPORT ATTACK WITH BAKER MACHINES You also have the Baker Machines project, which you recently started with the aim of opening the products of Turkish machinery manufacturers pro- ducing bakery products to foreign markets. Can you tell us about this project? As you know, in today's technology age, everything is bought and sold on the internet. With the e-export practice, which is very new in our country, it is possible to sell every product that does not exceed 300 kgs and whose monetary value does not exceed 15,000 Euros, as in e-commerce. The purpose of establishing the Baker Machines E- Export website (www.bakermachines.com ), which is a first in the sector, is to bring the sales of machines for bakery and baked goods to the virtual environment. I can say that I am marketing the machines of the com- panies that produce very high quality for this sector in our country and have proven themselves. I hope this application, which is the first in our country, will be suc- cessful and it will pave the way for the companies that produce in our sector in exports. This investment is İhracatta büyük başarılara imza atan un Sektörü için neler söylemek istersiniz? Sektördeki atıl kapa- sitenin ekonomiye kazandırılması için neler yapıla- bilir? Ülkemiz un sanayicileri 165 ülkeye ihracat yapmak- tadır. Bu ihracattan dolayı ülkemiz ekonomisine 2020 yılında 1 milyar dolar girdi ile büyük katkı sağlamıştır. İhracatta lokomotif sektörlerden biridir. Fakat ihracat yapan firmalarımızın yanı sıra atıl ka- pasite oranımızda çok yüksektir. İhracatımızın daha da arttırılması için atıl kapasitedeki işletmelerinde bu kervana katılması için bakanlıklarımız geniş kapsamlı AR-GE yapabilir. Çok fazla un fabrikasının binası var içerisinde makine yok. Makine parkuru çok eski olan işletmelerimiz var. Atıl kapasite sorunu çözülürse emi- nim sektör daha büyük başarılara imza atar. BAKER MACHİNES İLE İHRACAT ATAĞI Birde son dönemde unlu mamullere yönelik üretim yapan Türk makine üreticilerinin ürünlerini yurt dışı pazarlara açmak maksadıyla başlattığı- nız Baker Macines projeniz var. Bu projenizi anla- tabilir misiniz? Bildiğiniz üzere günümüz teknoloji çağı, artık her şey internet üzerinden alınıp satılıyor. Ülkemizde de daha çok yeni olan e-ihracat uygulaması ile aynı e-ticarette
