Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the factors affecting the losses in fruit and vegetable production. For this purpose, grapes, cherries and figs and tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers, which are of relative importance in terms of production value, were selected to the product scope of the research. 146 face-to-face surveys were conducted with farmers of these products. The production phase includes the farm processes from pre-harvest, harvest and post-harvest to the sale of products. In the study, the factors that affect the losses at each stage were examined separately and evaluated together. According to the results of the research, the factors affecting the losses in fruits and vegetables are consistent with the current literature. Seasonal factors, lack of technical knowledge, lack of cold storage facilities and economic factors are the main causes of loss. Measures that can be taken to reduce losses in the research were evaluated both in general and, where appropriate, in the specific product.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, meyve ve sebze üretiminde ortaya çıkan kayıplar üzerinde etkili olan faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla, İzmir ilinde üretim değeri açısından göreli öneme sahip meyvelerden üzüm, kiraz ve incir ile sebzelerden domates, hıyar ve biber araştırmanın ürün kapsamına seçilmiştir. Bu ürünlerin üreticileri ile yüz yüze 146 anket yapılmıştır. Üretim aşaması; hasat öncesi, hasat aşaması ve hasat sonrası olmak üzere ürünlerin satışına kadar olan çiftlik süreçlerini kapsamaktadır. Araştırmada, her aşamaya ilişkin kayıplar üzerinde etkili olan faktörler ayrı ayrı incelenmiş ve birlikte değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, meyve ve sebzelerde ortaya çıkan kayıplar üzerinde etkili olan faktörler mevcut literatürle uyumludur. Mevsimsel faktörler, teknik bilgi eksikliği, soğuk muhafaza olanaklarının sağlanamaması ve ekonomik faktörler belli başlı kayıp nedenleridir. Araştırmada kayıpların azaltılması için alınabilecek önlemler hem genel olarak ve hem de yeri geldikçe ürün özelinde değerlendirilmiştir.
