Since the economy of Yenisehir District is based on agriculture, its trade has also developed in relation to agriculture. Due to the presence of peppers, the district's primary vegetable crop, and its proximity to regions producing other fresh vegetables and fruits, companies operating in the district export 40-50 types of fresh vegetables and fruits annually. These companies have also established packaging facilities in the district, beginning to transform it into a center for fresh fruit and vegetable exports. With the scheduled start of cargo flights at Yenisehir Airport, Yenisehir is expected to become a center for agricultural product exports. In this context, it is worth emphasizing that Bursa is also an industrial city, with its industry heavily focused on import and export activities.
Our country, within the framework of its Customs Union agreement with the EU and its efforts to join the Union, has introduced various rules to ensure that products comply with human health and safety standards as a result of its efforts to harmonize with Union laws.

The requirement that products exported to the EU meet these standards, as well as rules stipulating that agricultural producers can only export through the Union, necessitate awareness among producers and exporters and require cooperation with universities, particularly through foreign trade programs.
