SedatThis study was conducted in the Mersin province, where greenhouse agriculture is commonly practiced in Turkey. In the study, organic, conventional, and soilless cropping systems were compared economically. The study was conducted by producing tomatoes in greenhouses over a three year period between 2012 and 2014. The best result among the three production systems in terms of production costs and net profit were obtained from the organic cropping system. The average yield in a unit area (ton 1000 m(-2)) was 22.37 in soilless culture, 19.28 in organic, and 18.55 in the conventional cropping system. Total production cost for a unit area was 13,508.09 US$ in organic growth, 12,694.34 US$ in soilless culture, and 10,744.62 US$ in the conventional cropping system. Net profit for a unit area was 7,314.31 US$ in organic production, 3,278.87 US$ in soilless culture, and 2,608.98 US$ in the conventional cropping system. Results showed that it is possible to grow vegetables economically with alternative production systems. It requires extending and ensuring sustainability of environmentally friendly production systems. Therefore, farmer training about production techniques, and subsidies alternative production systems are important.Öğe Determination of Organic Fish Purchase Tendency of Consumers: A Case Study for Hatay Province, Turkey(Medwell Online, 2009) Dagistan, Erdal; Demirtas, Bekir; Akpinar, M.

Data collection was carried out following 2004-2005 growing seasons. Technical efficiency of cotton farms was estimated by using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and technical efficiency scores were calculated employing an input oriented DEA. Tobit regression analysis was used to identify determinants of technical efficiency. Results indicate that cotton farmers can save inputs by at least 20% while remaining at the same production level. Factors strongly affecting efficiency level of the farmers were found to be farmers' age, education level and groups of cotton growing areas.Öğe Determination of technical efficiency in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production of Turkey: A case study of Cukurova region(Wfl Publ, 2010) Dagistan, ErdalWheat production in Turkey has always been costly due to the high input prices that reduce competitiveness between Turkish and foreign farmers. So far, few attempts have been done to resolve problems regarding the wheat production and marketing in Turkey. Therefore, as an initial effort we carried out present study to determine technical efficiency of wheat growing farms in Cukurova region of Turkey. Wheat growing farmers provided the data through a questionnaire study in the 2004-2005 growing season. Technical efficiency of wheat farming was estimated by using the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Technical efficiency scores were calculated by employing an input-oriented DEA and Tobit regression analysis was used to identify determinants of technical efficiency. The results showed that wheat farmers could save from the variable inputs by at least 20% remaining at the same production level. The efficiency level is mainly affected by farmer education level and number, size and location of wheat plots of 103 farms, of which 13 showed constant, 87 increasing and 3 decreasing returns to scale conditions. Determining variations in technical efficiencies of wheat growing farms and the causes of inefficiencies, our results are expected to be useful for policy makers as well as wheat growers.Öğe A DETERMINATION OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING FARMERS' SATISFACTION WITH MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS (MAPs) AGRIBUSINESS WITH RESPECT TO SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN HATAY, TURKEY BY USING LOGISTIC REGRESSION(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2018) Tapki, Nuran; Dagistan, Erdal; Demirtas, Bekir; Kiziltug, Tugce; Celik, Ahmet Duran; Kekec, NurcanMedicinal and aromatic plants contribute to the economy by maintaining the health of the population that sustains the economy, particularly in developing countries. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate collection and development opportunities of medicinal and aromatic plants, the socio-economic structure, and the satisfaction of farmers. In the study, 94 surveys were carried out with medicinal and aromatic plant collectors from nature by the methods of full count and face to face interview. According to the research results, 70.21 % of the farmers had graduated from primary school, and 2.13 % had graduated from universities. The average duration of experience with MAPs was 9.90 years, and the average farmer's age was 46.8 years old. The collecting land area average was 1.25 ha(-1). Laurus nobilis, Thymus vulgaris L., Rhus coriaria L., Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia officinalis L., Vacinium myrtillus were the plants most collected from nature. The factors affecting the satisfaction of farmers were determined, including the age of the enterprise owner, marketing problems, labor problems, the prices of medicinal and aromatic plants, expectations about the future of MAPs, the percentage of medicinal and aromatic plants in total income, transportation cost, and the gradual decrease of the amount of harvested MAPs every year. Among farmers, the proportion of satisfaction was 59.4 %. The average annual income of farmers from MAPs' sale was 2,290 USD. Inadequate cultivation and marketing of the MAPs sector were found as the biggest problems. Therefore, it is crucial to gather MAPs farmers in an organization to solve the sector's problems.Öğe Determining Household Preferences for Fish Consumption with Conjoint Analysis in Turkey(Medwell Online, 2009) Akpinar, M.

The average energy consumption of the farms investigated in this study is 19 558 MJha(-1). Of the total energy, 2.87% is direct and 71.13% is indirect. Renewable energy accounts for 12.30% and energy usage efficiency is found to be 2.36. The total energy input into the production of one kilogram of average Turkish cotton is estimated to be 4.99 MJ. The dominant contribution to input is energy in the form of nitrogen fertiliser (40.28%), followed by water for irrigation (22.37%) and diesel-oil (17.04%). The cost of cotton production per hectare is found to be 2 246 $ha(-1) in the region, with 79.87% of this being variable costs. It can be concluded that intensive cotton farms are being operated in the area since the variable cost ratio is quite high. As a result of benefit-cost ratio (1.24) analysis, cotton production is found to be economically efficient.Öğe THE FUTURE PROSPECTS OF FACTORS AFFECTING CONSUMER ATTITUDES ON THE FRUIT JUICE MARKET IN TURKEY(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2017) Dagistan, Erdal; Gul, Mevlut; Akpinar, M.

GokselThere are many aspects regarding the success of dairy cattle management and productivity. In this study, amount and kinds of feed, costs of veterinary consultancy, herd size, labor and capital were utilized to estimate technical efficiency of dairy cattle management in small scale farms in the east Mediterranean region of Turkey. A non-parametric efficiency analysis was used for the data obtained through face-to-face interviews in 100 small scale farms. We used tobit regression analysis to determine the effectiveness of possible factors affecting production performances of the farms. The results suggested that the average technical efficiency is unsatisfactory since Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) and Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) values are relatively <1 (0.59 and 0.83, respectively). Only 13 and 46% of the farms were found to be efficient in terms of CRS and VRS, respectively. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) showed that the farms had excess input usage ranging from 10-22%. To increase efficiency scores in subsidiary profit farms in semi-arid east Mediterranean conditions, farmers should adopt new methodologies, which decrease the costs and excess input usage in such semi-pasture management systems.
