Türkiye Balıkçılık Sektöründe Üretim ve Sürdürülebilirlik İlişkisi: Ekonomik Değişkenlerin Rolü

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir kalkınma stratejilerine vurgu yaparak, Türkiye'nin balıkçılık sektöründeki üretim süreçleri üzerinde temel ekonomik değişkenlerin etkisini araştırmaktadır. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu'ndan alınan 2003-2023 yılları arasındaki yıllık verileri kapsayan araştırma, sermaye yatırımlarının, işçilik maliyetlerinin ve enerji giderlerinin toplam üretim üzerindeki uzun vadeli ve kısa vadeli etkilerini incelemek için ARDL modelini kullanmaktadır. Sonuçlar, sermaye yatırımlarının üretkenliği önemli ölçüde artırdığını, ancak yanlış tahsisin verimliliği olumsuz etkileyebileceğini göstermektedir. İşgücü ve enerji maliyetleri olumsuz bir etki göstererek, sektörel sürdürülebilirlik için maliyet optimizasyonunun önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu bulgulara dayanarak, mevcut çalışma; verimli sermaye tahsisi, eğitim programları aracılığıyla işgücü maliyeti optimizasyonu ve operasyonel giderleri azaltmak için yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının benimsenmesi gibi stratejik politika önerileri sunmaktadır. Bu öneriler, Türkiye balıkçılık sektöründe sürdürülebilir büyümeyi desteklemeyi, gıda güvenliğini artırmayı ve ekonomik dayanıklılığı güçlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Production and Sustainability in Türkiye's Fisheries Sector: The Role of Economic Variables

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of basic economic variables on production processes in Türkiye's fisheries sector, emphasizing sustainable development strategies. Using a dataset from the Turkish Statistical Institute covering annual data from 2003 to 2023, the research employs the ARDL model to examine the long-term and short-term effects of capital investments, labor costs, and energy expenses on total production. Results indicate that capital investments significantly enhance productivity, though misallocation can negatively impact efficiency. Labor and energy costs exhibit a negative effect, underlining the importance of cost optimization for sectoral sustainability. Based on these findings, the current study proposes strategic policy recommendations such as; efficient capital allocation, labor cost optimization through training programs, and the adoption of renewable energy sources to reduce operational expenses. These recommendations aim to support sustainable growth in the Turkish fisheries sector, enhance food security, and bolster economic resilience.
