Antalya İli Kaş İlçesinde Sebze Üreticilerinin Mali Durumunu ve Gelirlerini Etkileyen Faktörler

Abstract

Yatırım sermayesi ve işletme maliyetleri yüksek olan sebze tarımı ülke ekonomisinin gelişmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Sebze üretimi, çağlar boyunca insanlığın günlük besin ihtiyacını karşıladığı için Türkiye tarımının başlıca alanıdır. Araştırma verileri Antalya ili Kaş ilçesindeki sebze yetiştiricilerinden çoklu örnekleme teknikleri ile belirlenen 103’ünden anket yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Tarım işletmeleri, kümeleme analizi kullanılarak küçük ve büyük sebze yetiştiricileri olarak kategorize edilmiştir. İşletmelerin iyileştirilmesi gereken alanların belirlenmesi için finansal oranlar hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, verileri analiz etmek için tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve çoklu regresyon modeli kullanılmıştır. Küçük işletmeler, büyük işletmelere kıyasla daha genç ve daha eğitimlidir. İşletmelerin borç oranları, yükümlülüklerine göre daha fazla varlığa sahip olduklarını göstermiştir. Varlık devir oranı, küçük işletmelerde büyük işletmelere göre daha verimlidir. Biyolojik mücadele önlemleri ve gübre maliyeti işletme gelirlerini olumsuz etkilerken, tarımsal deneyim ve hane halkı büyüklüğü, işletme gelirini önemli ölçüde ve olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle gelir kaybını göze alarak güvenli ve sağlıklı gıda üretmek için çevre dostu yöntemler kullanan işletmeler teşvik edilmelidir.

Factors Affecting Vegetable Farmers' Financial Condition and Income in Kaş District of Antalya Province, Turkey

Abstract

Vegetable agriculture, which has high investment capital and operating costs, plays an important role in the development of the country's economy. Vegetable production is the principal area of Turkish agriculture as vegetables have fulfilled the daily food requirements of humanity for ages. Multiple sampling techniques were used to collect data from 103 vegetable growers of Kaş district of Antalya through face to face surveys. Farmers were categorized into small and large vegetable growers using cluster analysis. Financial ratios were calculated for vegetable growers to identify the areas which need improvement to make vegetable farms sound. Moreover, descriptive statistics along with a multiple regression model was used to analyze the data. The small vegetable growers were found younger and more educated as compared to large vegetable growers. Debt ratios of both vegetable grower categories indicated that they have more assets as compare to their liabilities. The asset turnover ratio found small vegetable growers more efficient in the use of their assets as compared to large vegetable growers. Farming experience and household size significantly and positively affect the income of vegetable growers. While biological control measures and fertilizer cost negatively affect vegetable producers’ income. Therefore, the government should encourage vegetable growers as they use environmentally friendly methods to produce safe and healthy food.
