68 TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM MILLER / JULY 2019 İsmail Kunduracı Chairman of Board Selis Machinery “Turkey comes in second place following China in grain processing sector in terms of exports. Figures prove this. This is a good thing. However, when we examine the added value per ton on the other hand, although we are above China, we are way behind the European countries. What we manufacture do not have high added value. In order to accomplish [high added value], we have to carry out R&D and switch to high technology. As Selis, we are mov- ing in this direction.” ‘We increase our competitive power with high value-added products’ Interview: Namık Kemal Parlak
