Özet
This study is carried out in the European continent soils of Turkey, namely Thrace Region, which meets the 53% of Turkey's sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production. In the study, Stratified Random Sampling Method has been used and it has been determined that sunflower cultivating area for the enterprises, to which questionnaire was applied, was 5349.75 ha and cultivating area per enterprise was 9.36 ha. In the enterprises investigated wheat took the first place with a proportion of 51.73% of overall cultivating area and sunflower had the second range with the ratio of 42.74%. It has been estimated that enterprises included in the study had a total agricultural income of (sic)15.8 million in 2009. About 86.83% out of their total income was gained from crop production. It was estimated that the ratio of sunflower in the crop production value was 22.71% and in the total agricultural production value was 19.72%. In the examined enterprises average sunflower yield for the year 2009 was 1.770 ton ha(-1), sunflower income was 790.71 (sic) ha(-1) and the crop cost was determined as 644.77 (sic) ha(-1). Results of research show that cost of oil, fertilizer and seed comprises 75% cost of sunflower production. The results also indicate that in the cost of sunflower, rise of supporting payments for the oil, fertilizer and seed may reduce the cost of sunflower in Turkey in the future.
