In the district of Kaş, surveys were conducted with 77 farmers producing capia pepper with face to face via questionnaire. The data belongs to the 2016 production period. As a result of the research; in the production of capia pepper, the relative profit was calculated as 1.56. However, 22.08% of the farmers had a negative profit. The most important reason for this was the low productivity of the unit area and sales price.
