The reducing role of public in economy had encouraged the private
alternatives in technology transfer, and also cost-sharing structures in
agricultural extension services. The structural changes vary according to the
country conditions. In this study, KOYMER Project, which was aimed at
decentralization, cost sharing and creating a pluralistic structure in Turkish
agricultural extension system, had been examined by interviewing with 566
consultants (advisors) in Turkey. Some
information on personal characteristics, activities and problems have been
gathered through the questionnaires. The project had positive effects on
extension workers–farmers ratios, behavioral changes in technical and
socio-cultural issues in rural areas. But, the planned financial contributions
of farmers and sustainability of the model predicted had not provided in the
project.
