Abstract:

Winemaking has been neglected for many years in Anatolia. Republican administrators've felt a strong desire for development. The most important source of the republic has been customs and monopoly revenues. As the winemaking has been an area that covers not only grape production but also viticulture, its production and export could not have been ignored. Revenues from wine exports could serve the purpose of development. The Monopoly Administration, by carrying out extensive studies in this untouched area, has greatly increased wine production with the factories and sample houses it opened. Quality, standardization and advertising activities have been intensified. In this study, the contributions of winemaking to the economy in line with the agriculture and development policies of the period will be discussed. A complementary perspective will be presented by giving the laws and regulations issued in this field, and then the investments made by the Monopoly Administration in this field along with the development process of the winemaking and the contribution of the winemaking at the export level will be examined. This study will provide a complementary perspective in terms of revealing what economic and social reasons the Republican administration acted in the early period and what vision it had.
