Economy of Turkey
Thanks to the dynamism of the investment of the private companies and household consumption, the growth of GDP reached nearly 12% in annual rhythm in first half of the year of 2004 and should approach 10% on average annual.
This dynamism was encouraged by the prospect for a possible opening of the negotiations with the European Union. The growth will probably find a more bearable rate/rhythm of about 6% in 2005 and 2006, with constant exports and an inner demand.
Tourism: a sector in full growth
The Turkey accommodated 8,6 million foreign tourists over first half of the year of 2005. Tourism brought back to the country 13,2 billion Euro S in 2004. These figures are in progression in spite of the earthquakes (August 17th 1999, Earthquake of Izmit, 20 000 dead) and the attacks (July 16th 2005 with died Kusadasi, 5 and 18 wounded) which struck the country these last years.

The great tourist areas of Turkey are mainly Istanbul, the coasts of the sea Égée and the the Mediterranean and the Cappadoce. The tourists are primarily made up of Européen (German S, French, Britannique, Greek) and also of American.
Agriculture
Turkey with the one of the largest agriculture of Eastern Europe. Since 1950 the agricultural production increased grace amongst other things to mechanization much, with a better variety of plant and with the use of better manures but the productivity remains weak. The antiquated methods are largely used by the farmers Turkish and the exploitations too much much are émiettées to be able to reach an high level of productivity. The peasants account for approximately 35,9% of the active population, they live in the poorest areas of Turkey. Of important investment should take place if Turkey returns in the European Union.
The principal agricultural productions of Turkey rose in 2004 to 21 million ton of corn, 13.6 million tons of sugar beet and 131.000 tons of the. The other cultures include/understand mainly chick-peas the lenses, the corn, the tomatos, the melon, the citrus fruits, the olives and finally the grapes.

Turkey is the first world hazel nut producer and exporter. Those Ci make live approximately 2 million people. They are cultivated on the edges of the Black Sea in North East of the country. Harvest constitutes between 70% and 80% of worldwide production in 2005.
Industry and the Turkish tertiary sector
The Turkish Industrie is developed very little and badly distributed through the territory, 22,8% of the active population saw industry which remains concentrated in the Turkish big cities. The industry of the Textile is the most active (Soie, Coton and Laine) spinning mill and weaving of cotton in cities like Cilicie or Égée. The Sidérurgie developed much in Turkey feeding of the mechanical engineering industries varied like the refineries of Pétrole, the heavy Chimie and manufacture of manure and plastics. Istanbul joins together the industrial quarter of the uses of the country.
The Tertiary sector very quickly developed, much more quickly than industry, thanks in particular to the improvement of the communications and the reinforcement of the administrative machinery. The rate of the urban population increased considerably in a half century. In 1950 the urban population was of 25%, it borders from now on the 60% in 2004.
