Abstract

Since agricultural products are produced in a certain period and consumed throughout the year, the need for storage comes to the fore. Licensed Warehousing (LW) are available for storing agricultural products in appropriate conditions. The main goal of storage is to protect the product in appropriate value conditions without causing quality loss according to the product type. Yozgat province was selected as the universe of the research because the licensed warehouse is established in the Central Anatolia region the most in Türkiye. The main objectives of this research are to reveal the status of LW in Sarıkaya district of Yozgat province, to determine the problems and restrictions farmers encounter in the use of LW and to determine the factors affecting farmers' intention to use LW. In order to achieve these objectives, it was decided that 212 samples would be sufficient by using a sample method. In the research, the intention to continue using LW was analyzed through factor analysis and structural equation models. As a result of the research, the problems, and restrictions regarding the use of LW are listed in order of importance as; delay in payment period, limited access for smallholder farmers, LW not being well known by farmers and high transportation costs. It was found that 98% of farmers found LW safe, 83% met their price expectations and 80% were positively affected by LW. The effect of perceived benefit on farmers' intention to continue using LW was calculated as 50% and social innovation as 7% positive. It was seen that the effect of perceived cost on perceived benefit was 34% and the effect of organizational benefit on perceived cost was 56%.

Özet

Öz: Tarımsal ürünler belirli bir dönemde üretilip yıl boyunca tüketildiğinden depolama ihtiyacı ön plana çıkmaktadır. Tarımsal ürünlerin uygun koşullarda depolanması için Lisanslı Depoculuk (LD) mevcuttur. Depolamanın temel amacı, ürün çeşidine göre kalite kaybına neden olmadan ürünü uygun değer koşullarında korumaktır. Türkiye'de lisanslı depoculuğun en çok İç Anadolu Bölgesi'nde kurulması nedeniyle araştırmanın evreni olarak Yozgat ili seçilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın temel amaçları, Yozgat ili Sarıkaya ilçesinde LD durumunu ortaya koymak, çiftçilerin LD kullanımında karşılaştıkları sorunları ve kısıtları belirlemek ve çiftçilerin LD kullanma niyetini etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Bu amaçlara ulaşmak için örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak 212 örneğin yeterli olacağına karar verilmiştir. Araştırmada LST kullanımına devam etme niyeti faktör analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modelleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda LD kullanımına ilişkin sorunlar ve kısıtlar önem sırasına göre şu şekilde sıralanmıştır; Ödeme dönemindeki gecikme, küçük çiftçiler için sınırlı erişim, çiftçiler tarafından LD'nin iyi bilinmemesi ve yüksek nakliye maliyetleri gibi faktörler çiftçilerin LD'yi güvenli bulduğunu, %83'ünün fiyat beklentilerini karşıladığını ve %80'inin LD'den olumlu etkilendiğini ortaya koymuştur. Algılanan faydanın çiftçilerin LD kullanmaya devam etme niyeti üzerindeki etkisi %50, sosyal inovasyonun etkisi ise %7 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Algılanan maliyetin algılanan fayda üzerindeki etkisinin %34, kurumsal faydanın ise algılanan maliyet üzerindeki etkisinin %56 olduğu görülmüştür.
