ANALYSIS OF OPINIONS AND EXPECTATIONS OF FARMERS ON AGRICULTURALLAND MARKET: A CASE STUDY FOR TURKEY

Due to the ecological and economic crises experienced in recent years, farmers can migrate from rural areas and the sales of agricultural lands can increase. Measures should be taken to keep farmers in rural areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the opinions and expectations of farmers in Aydın province of Turkey on the agricultural land market. The data of the study were collected from 73 farmers with a survey by using proportional sampling. In the analysis of data, first, the socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers were examined, then the farmer's opinions and expectations on the agricultural land market were revealed. Data was interpreted by calculating the average and percentage. The five-point Likert scale was used in the analysis of opinions and expectations. The average age of the farmers is 54.97, average education period is 7.68 years. The average land size is 7.30 hectares. The most important factors affecting the price of agricultural land are land size, soil structure, fertility, road-transportation status, land registry, and cadastre status and location. The issues that farmers consider the most in land purchasing are government supports, economic conditions, location of the land in the same village, and reasonable land price. However, they state that when they have to sell, they can sell it in cash and they will not be interested in what purpose the purchaser will use.
