Amasya has a diversified economy with the advantages of being located in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. The city's economy is based on three main sectors: agriculture, industry and tourism. These sectors are also the determining factors in terms of Amasya's job and work opportunities.
Agriculture plays an important role in the economic activities of Amasya. The city is especially known for its apple production and is one of the leading provinces in Turkey in this field. In addition to apples, other fruit varieties such as cherries, peaches and grapes are also grown. The agricultural sector is an activity that directly affects many families and provides a wide range of employment opportunities. While agriculture-based jobs offer seasonal work opportunities, the need for permanent labor is also quite high. The processing and packaging of agricultural products also creates additional employment in the city.
The industrial sector is the second most important factor in Amasya's economy after agriculture. Small and medium-sized industrial enterprises are the majority. The main fields of activity of these enterprises include food processing, textile and machinery production. Especially the food sector is directly related to the processing of local agricultural products. In addition to contributing to the economic development of the city, the industrial sector offers local people the opportunity to earn a regular income and develop their professional skills.
Tourism is an increasingly important sector for Amasya. The city's rich historical heritage and natural beauties attract local and foreign tourists. Tourism creates job opportunities especially in areas such as accommodation, food and beverage services and guiding. The restoration of historical sites in Amasya and their opening to tourism has brought new job opportunities in this field. The service sector, which develops alongside tourism, offers particularly attractive work opportunities for young people and women.
Economic activities in Amasya show a transition from traditional to modern sectors. This diversifies the city's business and employment opportunities and paves the way for new investments to support economic growth. Although agriculture is still the dominant sector, the rise of industry and especially tourism is making Amasya's economic structure more dynamic and diverse. With the cooperation of the local government and the private sector, the city aims to offer a wide range of opportunities for both local residents and outside investors and workers.
