Öğe Determining Costs and Profitability of Lavender Farms in Isparta Province of Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Gul, Mevlut; Kart, Murside Cagla Ormeci; Sirikci, Bekir SitkiLavender is a perennial shrub cultivated primarily for its inflorescence which produces high value essential oil. In Turkey, a great deal of studies has been done regarding the calculation of input, cost and profit of many agricultural products. However; there are not sufficient studies for medical and aromatic plants. In this study, it was aimed to determine the production inputs, costs and profitability of lavender farms. As research field, Isparta Province, which constitutes significant portion of Turkey's lavender production, was chosen. The material of this study consists of data obtained through face-to-face surveys with 38 farmers. The mean yield of farm was calculated as 1636.70 kg ha(-1) while 1 kg lavender production cost was calculated as $0.95. The average selling price of farm for 1 kg of lavender was $1.57. The GPV from lavender farming was calculated as 2573.31$ha(-1). Gross profit and the net profit were calculated as $1695.08 and 1018.37 $ha(-1) respectively. Relative profit was found to be 1.65. Lavender production was an alternative and important source of income for producers in region. Therefore, governmental support to lavender can lead to improvements in profitability indicators.Öğe Economic analysis of early-warning system in apple cultivation: a turkish case study(Univ Fed Rural Pernambuco, Dept Letras Ciencias Humanas, 2014) Gul, Mevlut; Akpinar, Goksel; Demircan, Vecdi; Yilmaz, Hasan; Bal, Tufan; Arici, S. Evrim; Polat, Mehmet; San, Bekir; Eraslan, Figen; Kart, Cagla Ormeci; Ozdamar, Damla; Yilmaz, Serife GuldenIn this study Antalya, Denizli, Isparta, Karaman, Konya and Nigde province' farms which are dominant in apple cultivation has been compared in terms of early warning adoption level and some social economic indicators. With this scope in the study region stratified sampling method had been used and sampling size has been determined 267 farms. In these regions early warning system has been used since the late 80's for black spot and codling moth. Especially after 2000's successful results of the system provide that a positive effect of the farmers' adoption level. According to the study results there is a high adoption level of farmers on apple cultivation from early warning system thus 41.6% of the farmers exactly adapt the pesticide application time from early warning system but farmers have lack of information about the system. There is a positive relation between adoption and education level, both levels increase at the same time. Early warning adoption levels also decrease unit production cost of apple. Relative profit has a statistically meaningful relation between early warning adoption level (p<0.05). Total pesticide cost increased 10.92% due to unnecessary usage. Many small farms in these regions can increase their income and provide market advantages with some amelioration in the early warning system, enlargement of practise areas.Öğe Economic Analysis of Integrated Pest Management Adoption in Apple Cultivation: a Turkish Case Study(Springer, 2017) Gul, Mevlut; Akpinar, Metin Goksel; Demircan, Vecdi; Yilmaz, Hasan; Bal, Tufan; Arici, S. Evrim; Polat, Mehmet; San, Bekir; Eraslan, Figen; Kart, M. Cagla Ormeci; Gurbuz, Damla; Yilmaz, Serife GuldenThis study aims to determine adoption level of farmers to integrated pest management (IPM) program and also to analyse the agricultural pesticide usage in apple growing. The primary data includes a research carried out through a questionnaire method which was conducted to apple producers in Antalya, Denizli, Isparta, Karaman, Konya and Nigde. According to the information received from the survey farms were separated into four groups according to IPM adoption level. It has been found out that the amount of pesticides used per hectare decreases according to the adoption of integrated pest management. While 1 kg apple cost found USD 0.40 in farms which does not follow IPM, USD 0.38 in farms which follow IPM. However, net profit per hectare is USD 556.75 in farms which does not follow integrated pest management; it is USD 482.51 in farms which follow high level IPM. In conclusion; to implement an efficient IPM, producers primarily should take cultural precautions and in the last resort they should look for chemical methods. They should avoid extreme use of nitrogenous fertilization, they should use high quality saplings, create a suitable ecological infrastructure and habitat management to conserve natural enemies of pests, select environment friendly pesticides, make descriptions of natural enemies of apple pests, give trainings about how to prevent pests contamination.Öğe Evaluation of Economic Structure of Cherry Growing in Turkey(Springer, 2020) Gul, Mevlut; Akpinar, M. Goksel; Demircan, Vecdi; Bal, Tufan; Yilmaz, Hasan; Arici, Serife Evrim; Acar, MusaCherry production has a vital role regarding income source for producers and export sources for Turkey. in Turkey, several studies have done regarding the technical practices, and most of them were not considered the economic dimension of cherry production. This research aimed to determine the production inputs, costs and profitability of cherry production. This study aims to reveal the relationship between orchard size and profitability by using general economic calculations based on Afyonkarahisar, Denizli, Isparta, Izmir, Konya and Manisa provinces, in Turkey. It is assumed that this study may be able to close the existing gap regarding other studies in the literature to a certain extent. This study support that more prominent cherry orchards had higher profits compared to smaller. the relative profit varies between 2.2 to 3.0 in the farm size groups. in this study, it was found that relative profit is the highest in the bigger-scale orchards. the most crucial problem for producers is to achieve a profitable cherry selling price. This study found the output/input ratio is high. Orchard size and production cost have a significant influence on the economic success of a cherry orchard. Production cost has a negative influence on profitability with a low cherry yield. in other words, cherry production is profitable in the research region, but some recommendations can be made within the framework of research findings to get better.Öğe GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VINEYARD FARMS IN DENIZLI PROVINCE(Univ Agricultural Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest, 2018) Karadag Gursoy, Ayse; Gul, Mevlut; Ormeci Kart, M. CaglaGrapes produced in many provinces of Turkey, with the possibility to evaluate in different ways and also as an agricultural product which is also an important contribution to foreign trades. According to the latest data, Turkey ranks in fifth regarding the total vineyard area and sixth in grape production in the world countries. This study aims to reveal the economic analysis of grape production. In this framework, determining the economic structures, annual activity results of vineyards, and calculating the production costs in the case of Denizli province. It was determined that grape production mostly made in aqueous conditions and goble training production was done in non-irrigated vineyards. Because of this situation, according to the wired training vineyards, it was found that the yield was about 1.6 times higher than the goble training system. It was determined that the labour force was used intensively in both production systems. However, more labour was used in the wired training vineyards than in the goble training system. It was determined that the gross production value be higher in the wired training vineyards. According to these results, it can be said that the wired training system was more advantageous regarding economic criteria.Öğe How did post-2000 agricultural policy changes in Turkey affect farmers? - A focus group evaluation(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017) Ates, Hacer Celik; Yilmaz, Hasan; Demircan, Vecdi; Gul, Mevlut; Ozturk, Erdogan; Kart, Murside Cagla OrmeciThe aim of this study is to provide an analysis on how producers have been affected by the decisions made in 2000 in the agricultural sector. Data collected from the focus group discussions was compared to the agricultural policy effects on Antalya Burdur and Isparta provinces. The participants were primarily selected from a list of state institutions and organizations, and included representatives from cooperatives and producer organizations that are engaged in the agricultural sector and/or bring service to rural areas. The discussion revealed that small-scale farmers were unable to use the support provided by the policies; as a consequence, many of them were unable to cultivate their land and had to migrate. In general, the participants stated that significant social and economic changes did occur in rural areas, however they emphasized that these changes were to the detriment of small-scale farmers and instead favored fanners operating on large scale.Öğe Opportunities and constraints for cherry exporters in turkey(Univ Fed Rural Pernambuco, Dept Administracao, 2016) Gul, Mevlut; Kart, Murside Cagla Ormeci; Yilmaz, Serife Gulden; Uzunkaya, KutlanTurkey's cherry production was 417905 tonnes, export quantity was 65294 tonnes in 2010 and this has provided $147828000 income to Turkish economy. Turkey is the most important cherry producer with the share of 20.24% of world cherry production. This study has aimed to evaluate Turkey cherry trade development, identify problems, marketing structure and suggest some solutions in cherry production between the years 1990-2010. In this study has benefited from secondary data sources such as Turkish Statistical Institute and FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and also similar publications related to subject. In this study Turkey's cherry production has been analyzed by 10 phone interviews which were conducted with cherry exporters. Respondents were asked four questions relating to the SWOT of cherry sector of Turkey and also their problems. Responses collected were transcribed and analyzed using a content analysis.Öğe TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY IN GRAPE PRODUCTION: A CASE STUDY OF DENIZLI, TURKEY(Univ Agricultural Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest, 2018) Ormeci Kart, M. Cagla; Gul, Mevlut; Karadag Gursoy, AyseIn many parts of the world, viticulture has become primary agricultural importance throughout history. The main reason for this is that it is economically productive with an assessment of grapes as fresh wine, dried fruit, fruit juice and other manufactured products. The aim of this was to determine the resource utilisation success of vineyard in Denizli province, which has an important share in Turkeys grape production. The primary material of the study was the data obtained from the grape producers in selected villages in Civril, Cal and Buldan Districts of Denizli Province. The sample size was calculated by using proportional sampling method. Sample volume was found 96 farmers in 95% confidence interval and the 10% margin of error. Data envelopment method (DEA) was used in the research to measure technical efficiency in grape production. Data Envelopment Method is used to evaluate the efficiency of a certain number of production units. The technical efficiency, scale efficiency and pure technical efficiency calculated according to input and the results were calculated and compared to irrigated and non-irrigated vineyards. Interviewed producers were 49 years old, educated seven years, and their agricultural experience was 26 years. According to the findings, respondents were asked how much they could reduce their input on the efficiency limit, and some suggestions were made for inefficient vineyards.
