Özet

In Turkey, it was harvested the 5459 kg sugar beet per da by producing the sugar beet at about 3.29 million da area in 2010 years. The leader provinces in the production of the sugar beet was Konya, Yozgat, Aksaray, Kayseri, Eskişehir, Tokat, Afyon, Karaman, Sivas and Ankara. However, Erzurum in its production was listed in order 27th related to its production area and 28th related to its production amount in Turkey. The production area of sugar beet in Erzurum was ​​29400 da covering Pasinler with 42% and Koprukoy with 38% of the cultivated areas. Therefore, in the study, Pasinler and Koprukoy constituted the scope of the research area related to the cultivated production area. The cost of the sugar beet and its total revenues is aimed to analyze by being used the data obtained from total 75 farms producing the sugar beet including eight villages and 61 farms in Pasinler and two villages and 14 farms. According to the results of the study; the rate of the variable cost in the production cost of the sugar beet was calculated as 81%, and the fertilizer and irrigation water amount from variable inputs, and soil preparation, labor used for the harvesting and threshing were applied more than normal levels, and thus they led its yield to be much lower. Therefore, its production cost per kg was calculated as 0.125 TL, and its price was determined as 0.12 TL. As a result of this; since the production cost exceeded the total GVP, net benefit per da was found as -7.45 TL. According to the findings; the cost minimization could provide by being determined the technical and economic effectiveness levels related to the scarce sources usage of the farms. GVP could be increased by determining the reel buying prices for manufacturer and by being improved the agricultural policies applied for the sugar beet. Then, the farms could gain the maximum income at some scale, and they could transfer them to the investments, and thus they may reach to the competitive farm structures by means of the effective investment tools.
