Although Osmaniye is suitable for agricultural production, animal husbandry and forestry with its geographical location and natural structure, economic mobility has been observed in many industrial sectors in the province due to the widespread effect of industries expanding in the surrounding provinces and the spreading of incentive measures.
The economic structure of Osmaniye has improved based on agriculture. Due to its geographical location and climate structure being suitable for agriculture, agriculture was the leading sector of the economy. With the pressure of the expanding industry in the surrounding provinces and the Osmaniye province among the priority provinces in development, significant investments were made for various sectors with the incentives provided. The iron and steel industry has received a significant share from these investments. For this reason, the iron and steel industry has become an important sector in Osmaniye.
