In the study, data were obtained by surveying from 95 farmers production sunflower. It has been found that sunflower production for nut high gross profit per decare, net profit per decare and relative profit. On the other hand net profit is negative in sunflower production for oil. Input-output relations were studied by using Cobb-Douglas production function and the efficiency coeffi-cients of inputs were calculated. The results of analysis show that the area of soving, amount of pure phosphorus and expenses of soil preparations were insufficient; amount of pure nitrogen and number of hoeing were more than needed in the sunflower production for nut. Also the area of soving and cost of seed were insufficient; expenses of soil preparations were higher than the economic level in the sunflower production for oil.}, number={29}, publisher={Selcuk University}
