SWOT Analysis for Hemp Farming in the Black Sea Region and Mechanization in Enterprises

Abstract

The use of new production techniques in agricultural activities is possible with the application of technological developments and the increase in the use of machinery in agriculture. The development of mechanization in hemp, which has a wide range of usage areas, is the most important stage in the spread of its agriculture. In the study conducted on the spread of hemp production in Samsun province, the current status of the enterprises was determined and the potential for mechanization was revealed. SWOT analysis was conducted in order to reveal the effects of mechanization use in existing hemp enterprises in Samsun province on hemp agriculture. The research determined the population and labor force, education status, land assets and distribution, land use, agricultural structure and production, and mechanization level of the enterprises in the survey area. The study was conducted between 2019-2020. Survey studies were conducted with 50 hemp producers in the Vezirköprü, İlkadım, Ondokuzmayıs, Bafra, Alaçam districts where hemp production is carried out in Samsun. In the study, the current status of the producers regarding the use of mechanization was evaluated with SWOT analysis. According to the results of the survey, 72% of the producers produce hemp for seed purposes, and when examined in terms of production experience, it was determined that 58% of them have more than 20 years of hemp farming experience. It was concluded that 56% of our producers plant by hand-spreading, and 44% plant hemp with pneumatic planting machines that plant wheat. Farmers stated that there is a 15-20% loss of yield in planting with machines compared to planting by hand.
