Adana

One of the largest and most dynamic cities in Turkey and situated at about nineteen miles from the sea, Adana derives its importance from its location as the gateway to the Cilician plain, now known as Çukurova plain, a large flat stretch of fertile land, possibly the most productive in this part of the world, on the east side of the Taurus Mountains.

Adana is the marketing and distribution center for an agricultural region in which cotton, wheat, barley, grapes, citrus fruits, olives, and tobacco are produced. The chief industries in the city are textile manufacturing, tanning, and the processing of wool. The city is also famous for its cuisine, namely the Adana kebab and şalgam, a local variety of turnip juice.

Financial Times affiliated Foreign Direct Investment Magazine named Adana among the 25 European Regions of the Future for 2006/2007. Elected along with Kocaeli for Turkey, Adana scored the most points for cost effectiveness against Kocaeli's wider infrastructure, while Adana and Kocaeli tied on points for human resources and quality of life.
