Summary "Supplement to Commerce Reports Daily Consular and Trade Reports: Turkey, Harput" by Consul Leslie A. Davis is a government publication detailing economic conditions and trade opportunities in the Harput region of Turkey, written during the early 20th century, specifically in 1915 amidst World War I. This work serves as a consular report, offering insights into the limited trade dynamics, demographic details, agricultural practices, transportation challenges, and the overall economic landscape prevalent in Turkey during a tumultuous time. The report highlights the dramatic impact of the ongoing war, which has led to a significant downturn in trade activities and economic stability in Harput. It discusses the region's predominantly agricultural economy and the lack of modern industrial infrastructure, leading to scarcity in essential goods and high transportation costs due to rough terrain and distance from seaports. The document also notes the hardships faced by the population, including military exoneration taxes and the intricate dynamics of supply and demand for various goods, hence illuminating both the challenges and the slowly emerging demands for foreign imports, especially from the United States, as the region struggles to adapt to changing economic realities.
