What Doğu Anadolu İhracatçılar Birliği does

Doğu Anadolu İhracatçılar Birliği (DAİB) is a non-profit regional exporters' union established by Decree No. 2/6107 on 4 March 1937 under the instructions of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Operating under the supervision of Turkey's Ministry of Trade and as part of the Türkiye İhracatçılar Meclisi (TİM) network, DAİB is the sole statutory exporters' union covering 17 provinces in the Eastern Anatolia region, including Erzurum, Van, Kars, Elazığ, Malatya-adjacent territories, and the southeastern frontier provinces. Its core function is to facilitate export growth among member companies through government program access, market intelligence, trade missions, and exporter services, with the region shipping to 151 countries and reaching 231M USD in March 2021 (a 69.90% year-over-year increase).

DAİB's service portfolio is delivered through a combination of physical offices and a multi-platform digital stack. The Erzurum headquarters (moved to a new service building in the 1st Organized Industrial Zone in July 2021) and a Batman contact office provide in-person service, while online.daib.org.tr, uyelik.daib.org.tr, evrak.daib.org.tr, and the integrated E-Birlik system support membership applications, document tracking, and union procedures. Mobile applications are available on iOS and Android. Service products include the DAİB Akademi training program (monthly Zoom-based sessions), country market reports covering 60+ destinations, sectoral trade delegations to markets including Romania, Tanzania, Spain, Morocco, and Ghana, the Destek Yönetim Sistemi (government support application system), Yeşil Pasaport (green passport) processing, and the İhracat Pusulası trade data analytics tool. Partnerships with Türk Eximbank, the European Enterprise Network (EEN2EIC/EUEIC), and Türk Ticaret Bankası extend financing and advisory access to members.

The organization's revenue model is membership-fee-based, with fees scaled to member export volumes, supplemented by government funding through the Ministry of Trade. DAİB is governed by a Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, and TİM Delegates, with Ethem Tanrıver serving as Board Chairman and TİM Supervisory Board member. The entity is not commercially owned, has no external equity investors, and is funded entirely through member contributions and public support rather than market capital.

Comparable structure, governance, and service portfolio.
• Akdeniz İhracatçılar Birliği (AKİB): Mediterranean Exporters' Union is a TİM-affiliated regional exporters' union covering the Mediterranean (Antalya, Mersin, Adana) provinces.

• Uludağ İhracatçılar Birliği (UİB): Uludag Exporters' Union is a regional exporters' union under TİM covering Bursa and surrounding provinces. Direct comparable peer with the same government-mandate trade facilitation model, membership services, and TİM integration as DAİB.

Broad incumbents

• Türkiye İhracatçılar Meclisi (TİM): Türkiye İhracatçılar Meclisi is the umbrella organization for all of Turkey's regional exporters' unions, including DAİB itself.

• UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT): The UK's Department for Business and Trade operates the government trade-promotion function, including export support, market access programs, and trade missions. While a much larger national entity, it is broadly comparable as a government-led trade promotion body performing the same class of services as DAİB.
