metadata.value: The article is devoted to the life and work of one of the first Turkish entrepreneurs of the
  Republican period — Mollazade Nuri Şeker. The source base of the research was made up of
  biographical and autobiographical materials published in a collective monograph by Turkish
  researchers dedicated to the development of entrepreneurship and labor movement in Turkey
  in the first half of the 20th century. Nuri Şeker’s main field of activity was the production of
  sugar — a product that the country experienced a shortage of during the Ottoman period. At
  the turn of the 19th — 20th centuries, sugar was the main import of Ottoman Turkey. At the
  same period of time, the first attempts to solve this problem were made. However, a series of
  wars in the second decade of the 20th century prevented this. During the national liberation
  struggle the shortage of this product began to be felt especially acutely. After the proclamation
  of the Republic, the issue of developing its own sugar production was decided at the state
  level. Nuri Şeker was a pioneer in this area. He managed to establish sugar production from
  scratch: from the cultivation of sugar beets, which were not produced in Turkey at that time,
  to the crystallization of sugar and he was able to fulfill a dream that had haunted him since
  childhood. However, despite unconditional success in his entrepreneurial activity, Nuri Şeker
  could not surpass his only competitor at that time — Şakir-bey (the creator of the sugar factory
  in Alpullu) who enjoyed the full support of the government. In addition to Nuri Şeker’s
  professional activities, the article also discusses his personal qualities that aided him in achieving
  success.
