Comparison of Agricultural Enterprises that Perform Organic Agriculture and Conventional Agriculture in the City of Erzurum in Terms of Their Sizes

Abstract

The goal of this study is to compare the agricultural farms that are performing organic agriculture with the ones performing conventional agriculture in terms of their sizes and to determine which one of these two has the advantages due to its size. 120 agricultural rms are surveyed considering the land assets of the rms that are performing organic agriculture in Erzurum. The criteria in terms of size used in this study are the size of the land, the amount of manpower, herbal manufacture value, and the rental value of the property. These criteria are found to be close for both organic (type A) and conventional (type B) agricultural rms. The animal assets in terms of BBHB is 15.79 in type A rms and greater than that of type B rms (9.55). Animal production is 13184.13 TL in type A rms and greater than that of type B rms (10968.80TL). Similarly, increase in inventory value, income from external agricultural business, gross output and capital stock are found to be higher in type A rms. The fact that types A rms has the advantage in terms of size criteria shows that conventional agricultural rms can also have similar advantages if they switch to organic agriculture.
