costandhighlyskilledworkforceandbyvirtue of the rate of domesticinput in theproductionstage.
Around 85 percent of domesticinput not onlyreducesthedependency on foreignsources, but
alsohelpsotherlocalindustries.
TheTurkishmachinerysector is a bigforce; raisingitsexportnumbersto 9 billiondollars in 2007
