The Ministry of Trade and leading e-commerce platforms signed a comprehensive cooperation protocol to facilitate the access of women's cooperatives to digital markets.

Scope and Purpose of the Protocol

A new protocol was signed between the Ministry of Trade and Turkey's leading e-commerce platforms to support women's cooperatives. With this agreement, it is targeted for cooperatives to take a more active role in digital markets.

Commission Rate Reduction Convenience

Within the framework of the signed cooperation, special commission rates were determined to support the digital sales processes of the cooperatives. Accordingly, the commission rate to be charged from cooperatives will be applied as zero percent for the first six months.
