Investment Areas in Hatay: Opportunities by Sector

Hatay's investment agenda is not limited to one sector. The post-earthquake reconstruction is growing the need for housing, infrastructure and social services, while İskenderun Port, the Erzin and Hassa organized industrial zones and the Cilvegözü border gate lay the ground for industrial, logistics and trade investment. Olive and citrus production feeds agro-industry, and UNESCO gastronomy city Antakya together with the Mediterranean coast supports tourism and food investment.

What does this data mean for an investor?

About half of the programme (50.0%) goes to transport and 28.5% to agriculture (mostly dams, irrigation and flood control). Health takes 6.9%, education 1.3% and energy 0.3%. The 2026 allocation is 11.2% of total cost, so most projects are multi-year, with completion spread over 2027–2030.

What it means for an investor: the public programme shows the access and infrastructure base for private investment. The transport weight matters for logistics and trade, irrigation and dams for agricultural production and processing, and hospital and university projects for health, education and housing demand. A project's inclusion in the programme does not guarantee its completion date.

Limitation: The programme excludes 15 projects shared with other provinces (TRY 57.8 billion). Project cost is multi-year and nominal; it is not annual spending or an execution rate. Because culture and tourism were grouped as one sector in 2025 (“Culture-Tourism”) and as “Culture” in 2026, no sector-level year-on-year comparison is made.
