Oba Makarna, the export champion of Turkey’s cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and products sector, also became the export champion of the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Regions. Musa Özgüçlü, Chairman of the Board of Oba Makarna, received his award at the “Stars of Export Award Ceremony” organized by the Southeastern Anatolian Exporters’ Associations.
Musa Özgüçlü, Chairman of the Board of Oba Makarna, in his speech at the award ceremony, stated that they are very proud of contributing to the Turkish economy with production, employment, and exports, and said, “As Oba Makarna, we have been the company that exports the most in its sector for 8 years. Recently, we have been growing with new sectors and innovative products.”
Oba Makarna Chairman of the Board Özgüçlü said that they became unable to work due to the difficulties in logistics due to the corona, and therefore they decided to establish their own maritime company and by establishing their own maritime company in 2021, they prevented their customers from suffering.
Özgüçlü said, “We entered the shipping industry by establishing Savana ShippingLine to prevent our customers from being victimized. Our investments in this area will continue. We aim to increase the number of ships from 5 to 20 with an investment of approximately 200 million dollars.”
Oba Makarna bought the ship named M/V ALPASLAN OBA last November and increased the number of ships to 5.
