In this context, main material of the study consists of the data gathered by the surveying of the 112 enterprises determined randomly that produce sunflower in Edirne which are chosen deliberately since sunflower production is excessively. In the study, production cost is determined by calculating the production expenses and the revenue gained by this production. Also, technical efficiency scores of the enterprises are estimated by using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methods. As a result of the calculations, sunflower production cost is determined as 585,36 USD tonnes-1, and the revenue from the production (except for the supports) is determined as 560,00 USD tonnes-1. Also, technical efficiency scores are estimated with SFA as 0,87 and with DEA-VRS as 0,83. From the findings, it is understood that without supports given for the sunflower production, producers would make a loss and the supports should be continued.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessProduction costData Envelopment AnalysisStochastic Frontier AnalysisArticle12419332-s2.0-85008515659Q4WOS:000390940400003Q4
