A research on the perceptions of cotton producers to form a producers’ union in Şanlıurfa - Turkey

Abstract

Turkey, both in terms of both production and consumption of cotton is among the few countries in the world. Şanlıurfa is ranked in the first place in Turkey in terms of cotton production by producing approximately 40% of Turkey's total production. The purpose of this research is to determine why, despite the potential of Şanlıurfa, the “cotton producers’ union” could not be established and how they perceive the establishment of the producers’ union. The main material of this research is the data obtained from the cotton producer farmers who selected by a simple random sampling method. In this context, surveys were conducted in 2019 through face-to-face interviews. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used in the analysis. According to the results obtained, it was determined that age, education level, farming experience, amount of land and income were statistically effective factors on the perception of farmers to form producers' unions. According to the research result; young farmers have low farming experience, high educational level, low land, and low income, are more willing to establish a “cotton producers’ union”. It was concluded that the tribal structure of the region was decisive based on the failure to establish the producers’ union. This research is the first study in Şanlıurfa on this subject.
