To this end,face to face questionnaires were conducted with the owners of 190 businesses determined through stratified randomsampling method from hazelnut businesses on the lowlands of Çarşamba and Terme towns of Samsun, where theproduction of hazelnut is the densest in Samsun. 96 hazelnut businesses in Çarşamba plain and 94 hazelnut businessesin Terme plain were grouped in terms of the land size and the businesses were chosen in proportion with the size ofstratification from each group. The data were both presented numerically to determine the state and also the differencesbetween groups and plains were compared and assessed through statistical analyses. The results of the study show thatthe biggest problem in hazelnut production is the cost of input used in production in both plains. This problem wasfollowed with the low price of the product in both plains and the ambiguity of the markets, respectively. In the marketingstage, the most important problem is the low price of the product in free market in both plains. In addition, the secondproblem for businesses in both plains during marketing was the fact that producers did not act together. In businesses inboth of the plains, it was found that a great majority of the businesses did not consider uprooting their hazelnut gardensalthough they knew that growing hazelnut was not legal in bottom lands. In addition, it was found that a great majority ofthe businesses in both plains did not consider any production alternative to hazelnut. The difference between plains wasfound to be statistically significant for the most part and the sizes of the businesses were not found to be effective in thechange in general. CR - Demiryürek, K.
