Turkey's apparel manufacturin gsector is examined. Turkish apparel manufacturers fall inot three broad categories: small workshops; medium-sized firms; and large, integrated plants. The existence of a large number of small firms, which operate on asubcontracting basis, results in a high level of flexibility. This fragmentation, however, is a handicap to modernization, and even the larger companies still rely on outdated equipment. For historical reasons, there is a strong bias towards cotton production. The industry has become increasing exprot oriented, and some recently estabilished firms cater exclusively for the export market. The EC is an improtant market, especially Germany. Many of the joint ventures between Turkey and foreign companies are with German firms. Rising labour costs in Turkey have led to a decline in Turkey's exports of highly cost sensitive goods to the USA. Meanwhile, Turkish apparel manufacturers are attempting to meve upmarket.
