This study aims to reveal the total factor productivity levels in the agricultural sector in 81 provinces of Turkey by using the Malmquist index method over the period 2009-2019. The results extracted from the Malmquist index findings show that index value changed between 1.186 and 0.952, agricultural productivity increased in 75 provinces and decreased in 6 provinces. In addition, our findings confirm technological change affects the change in agricultural productivity levels in all provinces in Turkey, and that technology is a determining factor in agricultural productivity in all provinces. From a policy perspective, the results suggest that authorities in Turkey should develop and implement technologies that will make the sector productive, to encourage and support infrastructure, research and publication studies on technology. In addition, this research claims that the regional incentive system can be revised and, it can build an incentive system based on performance and efficiency in which provinces or businesses operating in this field are classified according to their productivity.

TÜRKİYE'DE İLLERİN TARIMSAL TOPLAM FAKTÖR VERİMLİLİĞİNİN MALMQUIST ENDEKSİ İLE ÖLÇÜMÜ

Öz

Bu çalışma, 2009-2019 dönemi için Türkiye'nin 81 ilinde tarım sektöründeki toplam faktör verimlilik düzeylerini Malmquist indeks yöntemi kullanılarak ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Malmquist indeks bulgularından elde edilen sonuçlar, endeks değerinin 1.186 ile 0.952 arasında değiştiğini, tarımsal verimliliğin 75 ilde arttığını, 6 ilde azaldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca bulgularımız, teknolojik değişimin Türkiye'deki tüm illerde tarımsal verimlilik düzeylerindeki değişimi etkilediğini ve teknolojinin tüm illerde tarımsal verimlilikte belirleyici bir faktör olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Politika açısından, sonuçlar Türkiye'deki yetkililerin sektörü verimli kılacak teknolojiler geliştirmesi ve uygulaması, teknolojiye ilişkin altyapı, araştırma ve yayın çalışmalarını teşvik etmesi ve desteklemesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Ek olarak, bu araştırma, bölgesel teşvik sisteminin revize edilebileceğini ve bu alanda faaliyet gösteren illerin veya işletmelerin verimliliklerine göre sınıflandırıldığı, performans ve verimliliğe dayalı bir teşvik sistemi kurulabileceğini iddia etmektedir.
