28982

In this study, the data used in the study were obtained with a face to face questionnaire of 126 hazelnut growers. The Neyman method was applied to determine the sample size. Socio-economic structures of the farmers were found out with the analyses. The active capital in the first group farms was calculated higher than those located in the second group farms. Gross margin analyses method was applied at the production activities level and hazelnut production within the gross income occupied 99,43% in the first group farms and 98,43% in the second group farms, respectively. The farm was evaluated as a whole and outputs of the activities were determined. The annual agricultural income (for both groups of farms) was calculated as somewhere around 3.000 TL. The agricultural income was approximately 1/3 of the family income in both farm groups. Annual income per family for both farms was determined as 2,8 thousand TL. The total cost required for the hazelnut production was calculated as 7,91 TL/kg in the first group farm and 7,53 TL/kg in the second group farm. The most important problem in the production was the high cost of the inputs, and in the marketing; the price of hazelnut is considered the most important handicap.
