Mersin: A Trade and Logistics Gateway

Mersin is a practical base for companies serving Türkiye, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East and nearby markets. Its port, free zone, agricultural and food industries, industrial ecosystem and road connections support international sourcing, distribution and investment projects.

Connected Infrastructure

Mersin International Port has expanded its handling capacity to approximately 3.6 million TEU. Çukurova International Airport has been operational since 2024, strengthening passenger and cargo access to the wider region. Mersin Free Zone offers direct connection to the port and supports export-oriented operations.

Commercial Strengths

The province has established capabilities in logistics, fresh produce and food processing, packaging, chemicals, machinery, construction materials and related services. Specific opportunities should always be assessed against current demand, regulation, infrastructure and supply conditions.
