Abstract

The study examined the producer-consumer prices and marketing structure of the chickpeas in Turkey, with a focus on the production-consumption, foreign trade, price fluctuations and marketing between the years 2003-2017. Despite the reduction in acreage and production rates in Turkey, an increase was observed in the production. In this study, marketing margins of chickpea are calculated according to current and real prices (2017=100). Producer and consumer chain indexes are also calculated according to current prices and compared with annual inflation rates. In fifteen years, the average yield was determined as 113 kg da-1, and the average consumption per person was 6.5 kg year. In fifteen years, the producer earned from 1 kg chickpea production increased by 55% and the amount paid by the consumer increased by 86%. In the fifteen-year period, prices have been in real favor for the producers and against the consumer. The model related to chickpea production function was estimated and agricultural real worker price was found to be effective on chickpea production.
