General Overview Of The Region
The TR21 Thrace Region, located in Turkey's far west and sharing a border with European Union Countries, Bulgaria and Greece, is comprised of the cities Edirne, Kirklareli and Tekirdağ. Along with the highway routes between Turkey and Europe, the fact that a significant part of the Region population is comprised of people who have migrated from Balkan countries has ensured that the Thrace Region is not only a physical, but also a cultural and social point of passage.
The region's economy is fundamentally based on agricultural production and the manufacturing industry. While agricultural production takes place throughout the region, they are mostly concentrated in the Region's inner and eastern sections.
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
On the other hand, the manufacturing industry is observed to be concentrated around the D100 Highway, on the Çorlu – Çerkezköy – Lüleburgaz line. The economy in the region's north and south present a livestock, agriculture and tourism-based structure.
The region's close proximity to Istanbul and the empty and large-scale parcels of land open to industrial production in the Region and the fact that OIZs and the Free Zone offer a good infrastructure and significant financial advantages, are all grounds which ensure the increase in the Region's industrial production.
