Abstract
The main objective of this
study was to examine the relationships between marketing costs, applications
and scales of the carrot farms in Hatay province. The average carrot
cultivation area, carrot yield, production costs, sales revenues,
record-keeping rate, members of farmers’ organization rate were 8.253 ha, 31366
kg/ha, 14911 US$, 28859 US$, %46.23, %14 in the all farms, respectively. Labor,
transportation, storage and packaging costs in all farms were calculated as
0.0031625, 0.005085, 0.00138 and 0.0022625 US$, respectively. The average total
marketing cost in all farms was determined as 0.001189 US$. The marketing costs
for the first, second and third group farms were calculated as 0.0121, 0.0107
and 0.0135 US$, respectively. The research recommended that the farms should be
subsidized so that they can increase production, improve their market share and
decrease their input costs. Farmers should be organized under farmers’
organization. Marketing channels should be created to ensure direct carrots
deliveries to consumers resulting increase in revenues. Increasing the number and capacity of cold storage
should be encouraged. Farmers should be subsidized to minimize their production
expenses. The support to be provided by various stakeholders should involve
branding and promotion in carrot production. Producers should be encouraged to
process carrot as high value-added products.
