To determine the standing of the logistics sector in Turkey, first of all, it is necessary to analyze better the foreign trade which has played an important role in rooting the concept of logistics in the country and which has enabled the development of logistics activities intensively. When the distribution of foreign trade is looked by transportation systems, it is observed that it is predominantly controlled by sea transportation.

State Planning Organization (DPT) argued in the 9th Development Plan that it is possible to achieve sustainable high export growth by applicable policies to be followed. It is anticipated that the export will reach 14.2 percent increase whereas the import will reach 11 percent. According to this, it is anticipated that the export will reach 210 billion US Dollars and import 275 billion US Dollars and the foreign trade will be 485 billion US Dollars.
