Abstract

Türk somonu (alabalık) sektörü, Türkiye'nin ticaret dengesi üzerinde giderek artan bir etkiye sahiptir. Sektör, ülkenin ekonomik büyümesinin yanı sıra istihdam yaratma ve bölgesel kalkınmayı teşvik etme açısından da kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Karadeniz Bölgesi'nde yoğunlaşan balık yetiştiriciliği ve işleme faaliyetleri, bölgesel ekonomik kalkınmayı desteklemekte ve yerel halk için istihdam fırsatları yaratmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Trabzon'da Türk somonu (alabalık) sektöründeki kümelenme mekanizmalarını ve yerel sektörel sinerjileri incelemektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, sektör paydaşlarının rollerini ve katkılarını belirlemek, işbirliği dinamiklerini analiz etmek ve rekabetçiliği geliştirmek için stratejik önerilerde bulunmaktır. Veriler, balık yetiştiricileri, yem tedarikçileri, ambalaj ve lojistik tedarikçileri, üretici örgütleri ve kamu kurumları gibi çeşitli paydaşlarla gerçekleştirilmiş derinlemesine görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular, bölgedeki sektörel kümelenme stratejilerinin bölgesel ekonomik kalkınmayı desteklediğini, ancak kaynak kısıtlamaları, stratejik planlama eksiklikleri ve düşük ürün farkındalığı gibi zorluklarla karşı karşıya olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

CLUSTERING MECHANISMS AND LOCAL SECTORAL SYNERGIES: TURKISH SALMON (TROUT) SECTOR IN TRABZON

Abstract

The Turkish salmon (trout) sector has an increasing impact on Türkiye's balance of trade. The sector plays a critical role in the country's economic growth as well as in creating jobs and promoting regional development. Fish farming and processing activities concentrated in the Black Sea Region support regional economic development and create employment opportunities for local people. This study examines clustering mechanisms and local sectoral synergies within the Turkish salmon (trout) sector in Trabzon. The aim of the research is to identify the roles and contributions of sector stakeholders, analyze cooperation dynamics and make strategic recommendations to improve competitiveness. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with various stakeholders such as fish farmers, feed suppliers, packaging and logistics suppliers, producer organizations and public institutions. The findings reveal that sectoral clustering strategies in the region support regional economic development but face challenges such as resource limitations, strategic planning deficiencies, and low product awareness.
