Özet:

 Non-wood forest products NWFPs in Türkiye are in important place that gives export surplus in terms of international trade. In addition, the Aegean Region also functions as an export center. NWFPs has a strate-gic advantage over the other regions in terms of production, processing, and marketing. Pine nuts are also an important source of food and income for producers in rural areas. Kozak Basin is the most important pine nut production and trade center in Türkiye due to having many processing facilities. In this study, the current situation of the pine nut processing facilities in the Bergama Kozak Region was examined. In this context, face-to-face interviews were held with the managers of eight pine nut processing facilities. First of all, the pine nut processing workflow was emphasized, and the workflow process was revealed. Interviews were held on subjects such as general information about the enterprises, the existence of business func-tions, the existence of quality management documents, machinery assets, raw material supply channels, raw material purchase regions and distribution of sales. Frequency and percentage methods, which are descriptive statistics, were used to summarise the data obtained and to reveal the current structure. The enterprises operating in Bergama Kozak region are mostly SMEs and the production processes were planned only according to orders has been observed in the study. It has been observed that the number of employees employed by the processing facilities operating in the Bergama Kozak Region, the number of units in the enterprises, and the quality certificates have decreased significantly. Besides that, the lack of sufficient raw materials for processing has also come to the fore a s an ongoing problem. In general, busi-nesses have problems in the supply of labour and finding suitable workforce especially for the job. For this reason, it is recommended that pine nut processing facilities cooperate with local institutions and organisations in order to train qualified workforce. The organization of enterprises in order to encourage the participation of women workforce in employment should be prioritised. In addition, it is seen as a priority issue to organize enterprises specially to encourage the participation of female workforce in em-ployment. Efforts to prevent quality losses that may occur due to processing differences and to develop products with high added value will contribute to some extent against income losses of actors operating in this field. In order to reduce the negativities due to the decrease in production, attempts should be made to increase the national and international awareness of the geographical indication protection of Bergama Kozak pine nut.

 Türkiyede Odun Dışı Orman Ürünleri ODOÜ Sektörü dış ticaret açısından ihracat fazlası veren bir yapıdadır. Ege Bölgesi Türkiyede ODOÜ üretiminde önemli bir yere sahip olmasının yanında, ihracat merkezi olarak da işlev görmektedir. ODOÜ üretimi, işlenmesi ve pazarlanması bakımından diğer bölgelerimize göre stratejik üstünlüğe sahiptir. Ege Bölgesinde ODOÜ açısından öne çıkan ürünlerden biri olarak çam fıstığı aynı zamanda kırsal alanda üreticiler için gıda ve gelir kaynağıdır. Bu çalışmada Bergama Kozak Yöresinde çam fıstığı işleme tesislerinin mevcut durumları incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda sekiz adet çam fıstığı işleme tesisi sorumlularıyla yüz yüze görüşme yapılmıştır. Öncelikle çam fıstığı işleme iş akışı üzerinde durulmuş ve iş akışı süreci ortaya konulmuştur. İşletmelere ilişkin genel bilgiler, işletme fonksiyonlarının varlığı, kalite yönetim belgelerinin olup olmadığı, makine varlıkları, hammadde tedarik kanalları, hammadde alınan yöreler ve satışların dağılımı vb. konularda yüz yüze görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen verileri özetleyerek mevcut yapıyı ortaya koymak amacıyla kullanılan betimleyici istatistiklerden frekans ve yüzde yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmada; Bergama Kozak yöresinde faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin büyük ölçüde KOBİ niteliğinde olduğu ve üretim süreçlerini sadece siparişlere göre planladıkları görülmüştür. Bergama Kozak Yöresinde faaliyet gösteren işleme tesislerinde istihdam edilen çalışan sayısının, ünite sayısının ve kalite belgelerinin ciddi oranda azaldığı görülmüştür. İşleme tesislerinin yeterli hammadde bulamaması durumunun ise devam eden bir sorun olarak ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Genel anlamda işletmeler işgücü tedarikinde de sorun yaşamakta ve özellikle işe uygun nitelikte işgücü bulamamaktadır. Bu nedenle nitelikli işgücü yetiştirmek üzere çam fıstığı işleme tesislerinin yöredeki kurum ve kuruluşlarla iş birliği yapması önerilmektedir. İşletmelerin özellikle kadın işgücünün istihdama katılımını teşvik etmek amacıyla organize edilmesi öncelikli görülmektedir. Ayrıca, işleme farklılıkları nedeniyle oluşabilecek kalite kayıplarının önlenmesi ve katma değeri yüksek ürünlerin geliştirilmesine yönelik çalışmalar bu alanda faaliyet gösteren aktörlerin gelir kayıplarını en aza indirmede bir derece katkı sağlayabilecektir. Üretimdeki düşüşe bağlı olumsuzlukları azaltmada Bergama Kozak çam fıstığı coğrafi işaret korumasının ulusal ve uluslararası düzeyde bilinilirliğinin artırılmasına yönelik girişimlerde bulunulmalıdır.
