Evaluation of the Utilization of Mechanization in the Agricultural Enterprises in Terms of Productivity

Abstract

Productivity in agricultural enterprises is mainly achieved by increasing the productivity of seed, fertilizer, pesticide, labor and mechanization inputs. The aim of this study was to determine the productivity of the use of mechanization which has a significant share and limitation in production costs. For this purpose, in Karapınar, Çumra and Altınekin districts, which have 24% of the mechanization equipment used in the province of Konya, work was carried out. According to stratified random sampling method, 107 agricultural enterprises were interviewed. As a result of the surveys conducted with these enterprises, demographic and capital structures of the enterprises were examined, and annual activity results were calculated. According to the results of the annual activities, the land, labor and capital efficiency of the enterprises were calculated and the productivity of all three production factors increased in parallel with the growth of the enterprise scale. In order to determine the mechanization utilization productivity, which is the main purpose of the study, tractor draw force, working hours, age and usage costs were calculated. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the mechanization productivity increased as the scale of the enterprise grew and the use of mechanization of the enterprises having land of 200 decares and above was in European standards. According to this result, it has been determined that the choice of tractor suitable for land and enterprise scale should be made. For this reason, a machine park model has been proposed to facilitate the utilization of new technologies.
