Direct income support implementation in Turkish agriculture: evaluation of farmers in Isparta province

Tarım sektörü ekonomik, sosyal, politik ve teknik yönleriyle diğer sektörlerden farklılığı olan önemli bir sektör konumundadır. Bu nedenle ülkeler tarım sektörüne çeşitli şekillerde müdahale etmekte ve her ülke kendi önceliklerine göre farklı tarımsal destekleme politikaları uygulamaktadır. Tarımda Doğrudan Gelir Desteği (DGD) Türkiye açısından olduğu kadar dünyada da yeni sayılabilecek bir destekleme sistemidir. Bu araştırma Isparta İlinde çiftçilerin Doğrudan Gelir Desteğinden yararlanma düzeyi ile yararlanma / yararlanamama üzerine etkili olan faktörleri üreticiler açısından değerlendirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Yapılan kikare (χ2) bağımsızlık testi sonucunda DGD ödemesinden yararlanma ve yararlanmama durumu ile işletme sahibinin yaşı, tarımsal kooperatiflere üyelik, işletmeden elde edilen gayrisafi üretim değeri, işletme arazi genişliği, arazi parça sayısı, mülk arazi genişliği ve ekilen arazi genişliği değişkenleri arasında istatistikî açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.Agriculture sector is distinguished from other sectors in terms of economic, social, politic and technical aspects. Thus each country interfere the agricultural sector and implements agricultural support policies for its own priorities. Direct Income Support in agriculture is a new support system in the world as is in Turkey. This study was conducted in Isparta province to determine the level of benefiting from Direct Income Support (DIS), the level of receiving, reasons of not receiving from DIS and characteristics of farmers. The data were analyzed and the Chi - Square (χ2) test was used to test relationship between variables. The result of the analyses showed that there is a significant relationship between the farmers receiving and not receiving DIS, considering farmers’ age, membership of cooperative agricultural, gross product value, average size of farm land, size of arable land and the size of owned land

Assessing Production Efficiency of Dairy Farms in Burdur Province, Turkey

This study finds that a sample of 132 dairy farmers located in Burdur Province, Turkey, are producing at a low level of production efficiency. Efficiency ranges from 24 percent to 94 percent, with the average being 50 percent. Eighty one percent of the variation in output among the sampled farmers is due to differences in their production efficiency. If a farmer with average efficiency improved efficiency to that of the most efficient farmer in the sample, then the average dairy farmer could realize a 47 percent saving in cost. Two statistically significant factors associated with the variation in production efficiency are identified: the type of feeding system used and herd size. Use of extension programs explained little of the variation in production efficiency

Determination of consumers' consumption levels and habits for bee products: a case study of Isparta province, Turkey

In the study, it was aimed to determine consumers’ consumption levels and habits for bee products in urban areas of Isparta province in Turkey. The main material of the study consisted of the data obtained from surveys, which were conducted by face-to-face interviews with 246 consumers in Isparta city centre. As a result of the research, it was determined that 79.27% of the surveyed consumers consumed bee products and mainly preferred extracted flower honey (45.13%) and comb honey (30.26%). The annual honey consumption was calculated as 1.94 kg and the honey consumption per capita increased when the consumers’ income groups rose. It was identified that the vast majority of the surveyed consumers purchased honey and other bee products from supermarkets and directly from the producers. The majority of consumers preferred glass jars in purchasing honey as packaging and 41.03% of them did not read the label on the package. Consumers stated that 46.70% of them cared about the brand while purchasing honey and other bee products. When the consumers’ information sources were examined, it was seen that 60% of them obtained information from the television. It was also determined that 11.28% of the interviewed consumers consumed other bee products (pollen, propolis, etc.). It was found that consumers consumed the bee products except honey more with the aim of better health. It was concluded that the consumption of the other bee products except honey was insufficient and therefore promotion activities should be focused to increase the consumption of these products

Development of dry onion production and foreign trade in Turkey and in the world

Onion is one of the rare vegetables that are used in the kitchens of both the rich and poor families in the world regardless of the income level. In addition to containing many vitamin and mineral substances that are important for human nutrition, it is also a medical plant the use of which is known since the beginning of human history. Turkey holds an important spot in the world with regard to onion production and production area. The objective of this study was to examine dry onion production and foreign trade in Turkey and in the world during the 1996-2013 period. Whereas world dry onion production was 44. 8 million tons during the 1996-2000 period, it increased by 1.9 times thus reaching 84.8 million tons. India showed the greatest development during the same period with an increase of 4.3 times, whereas a decrease of 13% took place in the production of dry onion in Turkey. China is ranked first in the world with regard to dry onion production with a share of 26.35%, whereas India is ranked second with a share of 22.76% and Turkey is ranked number six with a share of 2.25%. When dry onion yield is examined, it can be seen that the world average is 21.07 ton/ha, that Ireland is ranked first with an average of 68.75 tons/ha, that South Korea is ranked second with 64.58 tons/ha and that Turkey is ranked number 11 with a share of 29.86 tons/ha. Whereas world dry onion export was 3.4 million tons during 1996-2000 period, it increased by two times thus reaching 7 million tons in 2013. India is ranked first in the world in dry onion export with a share of about 21.06%, the Netherlands is ranked second with a share of 17.43% and China is ranked third with a share of 10.64%. Whereas Turkey is ranked number 10 in the world with a dry onion export share of about 2.25%. About 52% of Turkish dry onion export is made to Iraq. When world dry onion import is examined, it can be observed that the top five countries are Malaysia (6.71%), the USA (6.38%), England (6.34%), Bangladesh (5.26%) and Japan (4.41%). Main problems in the dry onion sector of Turkey are that the manufacturers are not organized sufficiently and that there is no production plan

Economic analysis of different applications of composts obtained from solid wastes of rose oil processing in organic apple nursery tree growing

In this study, it was aimed to carry out an economic analysis of different applications of composts obtained from solid wastes of rose oil processing (RC) applications in organic apple nursery growing. The data used in the study were obtained from the experiments carried out in the Directorate of Fruit Research Institute of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock. According to the results of the research, it was determined that the lowest cultivation cost per apple nursery tree was determined for ERC (50%) (Half dosage of the enriched RC) application and the highest one was for ST (standard application: 50% commercial solid organic manure +50% commercial liquid manure). The cultivation cost per nursery tree was determined as 2.64TL for ERC (50%) application and 3.04 TL for ST application. When a comparison was made in terms of net profit, it was determined that the most advantageous application was RC and ERC (100%). Furthermore, the net profit for the RC and ERC (100%) applications was 7333.9 TL and 7317.9 TL, respectively, and the net profits per nursery tree was 1.87 TL, respectively. In the control application (No nutrient application), net profit per decare was 5434 TL and net profit per nursery tree was 1.64 TL (1 USD=3.02 TL in 2016, average)
