Özet:

 The aim of this research is to examine the reasons why farmers who do organic production in Silifke district of Mersin province prefer or do not prefer organic agriculture and their tendency to continue or abandon organic production. The basic data of the research were obtained from face-to-face surveys conducted with farmers who do organic agriculture and those who have abandoned organic production in Silifke district of Mersin province, which is affiliated to Gündüzler and Kepez neighborhoods. There are two main groups in the study: continuing organic producers and abandoning organic producers. A total of 22 producers were surveyed, 17 of whom continue organic production and 5 have abandoned organic agriculture. As for the reasons why the participants started organic production, it was stated that they started to turn to organic production because of the high price, market and sales guarantee. The most important factors affecting the participants continuation of organic production were support payment given by the state and health of me and the workers. It was observed that there are more than one factor that may be effective in organic production in the future. Among these factors, high price, market guarantee, increasing demand for organic products, other farmers turning to organic production and increasing training activities for production play an important role. It was observed that the answer I would never consider was the most common regarding the participants desire to do organic production again. Similarly, the tendency to recommend organic production to others is also low, which shows that participants who gave up organic production generally do not consider returning to organic production.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, Mersin ili Silifke ilçesinde organik üretim yapan çiftçilerin organik tarımı tercih etme veya etmeme nedenlerini ve organik üretimi sürdürme veya vazgeçme eğilimlerini incelemektir. Araştırmanın temel verileri, Gündüzler ve Kepez mahallelerine bağlı olan Mersin ili Silifke ilçesinde organik tarım yapan ve organik üretimi bırakan çiftçilerle yapılan yüz yüze anketlerden elde edilmiştir. Çalışmada, devam eden organik üreticiler ve vazgeçen organik üreticiler olmak üzere iki ana grup bulunmaktadır. Toplamda 22 üretici ile anket yapılmıştır, bunlardan 17si organik üretime devam etmektedir ve 5i organik tarımdan vazgeçmiştir. Katılımcıların organik üretime başlama nedenleri olarak, katılımcıların yüksek fiyat, pazar ve satış garantisi olduğu için organik üretime yönelmeye başladıkları belirtilmiştir.

Katılımcıların organik üretime başlama nedenleri olarak, katılımcıların yüksek fiyat, pazar ve satış garantisi olduğu için organik üretime yönelmeye başladıkları belirtilmiştir. Katılımcıların organik üretime devam etmelerini etkileyen en önemli faktörler devlet tarafından verilen destekleme ödemesi ve benim ve işçilerin sağlığı olarak öne çıkmıştır. Gelecekte organik üretim yapılmasında etkili olabilecek faktörlerin birden fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Bu faktörler arasında yüksek fiyat, pazar garantisi, artan organik ürün talebi, diğer çiftçilerin organik üretime yönelmesi ve üretime yönelik eğitim çalışmalarının artması gibi faktörler önemli rol oynamaktadır. Araştırmaya katılanların tekrar organik üretim yapma isteği konusunda ise asla düşünmem cevabının ağırlıkta olduğu görülmüştür. Aynı şekilde, başkalarına organik üretimi önerme eğilimi de düşük düzeydedir, bu da organik üretimden vazgeçen katılımcıların genellikle organik üretime geri dönmeyi düşünmediklerini göstermektedir.
