Due to ecological properties had by Turkey, fruit and vegetable production is grown in almost all agricultural areas. The significant role in the marketing of fresh fruits and vegetables belongs to wholesale food markets and wholesale market brokers. In the literature, it was determined that 70% of fresh vegetables and fruits were marketed as informal. If there is an informality in an economy, loss and unfair competition arises. In Turkey, the law no:5957 was gone into operation in 2012 and the new wholesale market law has been applied. The purpose of this study is to determine the usage status of the wholesale market registration system by farmers and to determine the informal trade. In this research, using Quota sampling the questionnaire was applied to potato, mandarin, and peach total of 150 farmers. In the study, it was determined that the rate of hearing the concept of the wholesale market registration system was high but the rate of registration was low. It is determined that farmers who were registered to the system the rate of notifying is very low. In the study, it was determined that the informal market was 15% in Mandarin, 8% in peach and 1% in potato. The most important problem in the wholesale market registration system is the lack of information about the farmers' wholesale market registration system and operation. In this context, informational training studies should be done to explain to farmers what the registration system means, how to register to the registration system and how to notify them.
