Year 2019, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 259 - 263, 23.12.2019

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between the
socio-economic characteristics of apricot growing farmers who used agriculture
loan and non-use in the case of Mersin province Mut district was discussed. The
stratified sampling Neyman method was used to determine the sample farmer
volume in the Mut district. The farmer number was calculated to be 91 in the
confidence interval with 5% of the average, the margin of error and 90%. Data
from this number of farmers was obtained by face-to-face survey method. The data
set included the 2016 production period. The rate of farmers who used credits
in apricot production was 32.97%. Farmer age, farmer's level of education,
household size, experience in apricot cultivation, total farmland, apricot
land, unit production cost of apricot and apricot sale price are higher in
farmers who use credit. However, the apricot yield per unit area is also lower.
