In this paper, agricultural areas of Göksun District in Kahramanmaras province were studied in terms of organic agriculture, which is a method of farming, where natural equilibrium is maintained, sustainability is ensured and new generations can be grown with healthy food, and opinions and suggestions regarding the organic plant production potential of the province based on the results obtained from the data of Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Livestock and TURKSTAT and on the scientific papers and on-site examinations regarding the subject were included and the feasibility was investigated. With the advantage of its fertile soils that have not been polluted yet, the region will become attractive to investors who will make organic production, hence the income level of the local farmer will increase. Due to these and similar reasons, it was concluded that the agricultural structure of the Göksun district is suitable for organic production.
