Sales increase by 7%, income makes no headway!
The problematic block market renders the processed marble market more critical. However, neither the processed marble market makes headway. Such that the difference between the first eight-month periods of 2018 and 2019 is only $22,000! Turkey had earned $455,113,000 in exchange for a natural stone export of 1.068.000 tons. In the same period of 2019, the industry earned $455,135,961 for a processed marble export of 1.146.000 tons. In other words, while the amount of marble we sell increases by 7.26%, the income we earn remains the same!4
