This study evaluates the dynamics of fishing equipment trade in Türkiye by analyzing detailed import and export data collected over the last 20 years (2004-2023), focusing on how global events and technological innovations influence these trends. Data were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), encompassing volume and value metrics for various types of fishing equipment, including hooks, rods, and reels. A comprehensive time-series analysis was employed to assess trends, utilizing methodologies such as moving averages and ARIMA modeling to interpret the shifts in trade patterns. During the 2004-2008 period, imports of fishing hooks increased significantly from USD 316,265 to USD 1,209,804, indicating a growing dependency on foreign products, particularly from China. This surge highlights external pressures on local manufacturing and underscores the strategic need for trade policy adjustments to support domestic production. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 temporarily reduced import volumes due to disruptions in global supply chains and decreased consumer demand, but a resurgence was observed in 2023 as markets stabilized. The findings of this study highlight the necessity for Türkiye to enhance its competitive position in the global market by adopting new technologies and reducing dependency on imports, thus ensuring economic resilience and sustainability in its fishing equipment sector.

Türkiye'de Olta İğneleri ve Ekipmanları İthalat ve İhracat Dinamikleri: Son Yirmi Yıllık Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışma, son 20 yılda (2004-2023) toplanan ayrıntılı ithalat ve ihracat verilerini analiz ederek, küresel olayların ve teknolojik yeniliklerin bu eğilimleri nasıl etkilediğine odaklanarak, Türkiye'deki balıkçılık malzemeleri ticaretinin dinamiklerini değerlendirmektedir. Kancalar, kamışlar ve makaralar da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli balıkçılık ekipmanı türleri için hacim ve değer ölçümlerini kapsayan veriler Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu'ndan (TÜİK) elde edildi. Ticaret kalıplarındaki değişimleri yorumlamak için hareketli ortalamalar ve ARIMA modellemesi gibi metodolojiler kullanılarak eğilimleri değerlendirmek amacıyla kapsamlı bir zaman serisi analizi kullanıldı. 2004-2008 döneminde olta kancası ithalatı önemli ölçüde artarak 316.265 ABD Dolarından 1.209.804 ABD Dolarına yükseldi; bu durum, başta Çin olmak üzere yurt dışına bağımlılığın arttığını gösteriyor. Bu artış, yerel imalat üzerindeki dış baskıları vurguluyor ve yerli üretimi desteklemek için ticaret politikası ayarlamalarına yönelik stratejik ihtiyacın altını çiziyor. 2019 yılındaki COVID-19 salgını, küresel tedarik zincirlerindeki aksamalar ve azalan tüketici talebi nedeniyle ithalat hacimlerini geçici olarak azalttı, ancak 2023'te piyasaların istikrara kavuşmasıyla yeniden bir canlanma gözlendi. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, Türkiye'nin yeni teknolojileri benimseyerek ve ithalata bağımlılığı azaltarak küresel pazardaki rekabetçi konumunu güçlendirmesi ve böylece balıkçılık ekipmanları sektöründe ekonomik dayanıklılık ve sürdürülebilirliği sağlamasının gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır.
