During the year 1502, Busra, a city in Turkey was the center point for the Ottoman Empire’s material market and as all materials were handled by the royal family, their deals and assembling were controlled by the government (Akhi, 2018). Every Turkish textile merchant had to follow rules and regulations to sell their products in Busra, and those who disobeyed these laws were met with immediate punishment. As soon as fabric, especially silk, was completed, it was necessary to send ironing, measurement, and inspection to state officials called the Muhtesips. Muhtesips ensured that the governing markets known as the ihtisab kanunameleri, rules, and procedures were applied before any textile could be delivered for sale in Busra (Akhi, 2018). No silk trader could use their own machinery for weaving silk as everything from the materials utilized, the string check of the silk textures, and the heaviness of the materials made was carefully observed. Vendors also weren’t able to utilize their own gold and silver embellishment strings as these too were observed by the state and fabricated in state-run material workshops called simikeshaneler. This management encouraged the high quality of every single Turkish textile. It also provided for the manufacture of textiles that were exclusively Turkish and unlike any other global production.
The textile industry in Turkey had been gaining more importance during 2020 because Turkey is one of the largest textiles and clothing producing countries globally. Turkey’s textile industry is of great importance in the European and North American textile trade. The modern industrial facilities in Turkey demonstrate the considerable growth of the textile industry in recent years thanks to the important Turkish yarn brands, fabric manufacturers, and organic cotton companies. Due to COVID-19, a significant number of laborers in the textile industry have lost their positions or have been compelled to take unpaid leave. Income disturbances have pushed material and article of clothing producers to the edge of a breakdown (Fyrag, 2020). An advantage during the pandemic is the down interest for cotton, which will bring the cotton costs to fall in neighboring countries. Smallholder cotton ranchers and homestead laborers will be hit the hardest. Turkish material industry has improved essentially as of now since the Turkish attire and home material ventures have had a huge part during this global pandemic (Fyrag, 2020). Turkey is one of the production centers that is taking the most advantage of the coronavirus pandemic, as it presents itself as an alternative production hub to the Chinese market.
