ETB/ Oğuz: "We will transform the Eskişehir Commodity Exchange into a strong center of agriculture and trade"

Ahmet Oğuz, president of the Eskişehir Commodity Exchange (ETB), pledged to transform the bourse from a body that merely handles registration transactions into a stronger institution that stands beside its members, delivers field-level solutions and shapes the city's agriculture and trade agenda. Announcing the goal in an interview, Oğuz framed the shift as a structural repositioning of the exchange rather than a routine administrative change. The plan matters because commodity exchanges in Turkey serve as key pricing and registration hubs for agricultural trade, and a more active ETB could broaden its role in regional farming and commerce. What to watch next is whether the exchange backs the pledge with concrete new services and staffing, and how members respond to the expanded mandate.
