Risk sources encountered by farmers in the open field production of strawberry and risk management strategies: A case of Menemen- Emiralem district of Izmir

Bu çalışma İzmir ilinde açıkta çilek yetiştiriciliği yapan üreticilerin karşılaştıkları riskler ile tercih ettikleri risk yönetimstratejilerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Veriler İzmir ili Menemen ilçesi Emiralem beldesinde açıkta çilekyetiştiriciliği yapan seçilmiş 52 üreticiden yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla 2010 üretim yılı için elde edilmiştir. Çalışmadabelirlenen risk kaynakları ve risk stratejileri faktörlerinin sayısını azaltmak amacıyla faktör analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır.Daha sonra, faktör analizinden elde edilen faktör yükleri kullanılarak çoklu regresyon yöntemi ile çilek üretimiyapan üreticilerin sosyo-ekonomik özelliklerinin risk kaynakları ve risk stratejileri üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir.Çalışmada, en önemli risk kaynağının kapasite yetersizliği olduğu belirlenirken, buna karşılık en önemli risk yönetimstratejisinin sürdürülebilir gelir olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmada çilek üreticilerinin kapasite yetersizliği riskine çözümolarak çilek üretiminde ihtisaslaşmaya gitmeleri, sürdürülebilir gelir stratejisi için dealternatif pazarlama yöntemlerine(tarladan sofraya doğrudan pazarlama vb.) yönelmeleri gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca çilek üreticilerinin kendikooperatiferini kurarak alternatif pazarlama kanallarını oluşturmalarının çözüm olacağı ifade edilmiştir.

Açıkta çilek üretiminde çiftçilerin karşılaştığı riskler ve risk yönetim stratejileri: İzmir İli Menemen İlçesi Emiralem beldesi örneği

This study aims to determine and analyze farmers risk perceptions, risk management strategies in strawberry productionunder open feld. Data were obtained in 2010 production year from face-to-face interviews of 52 open-feld strawberryfarmers in Menemen-Emiralem district of Izmir province in Turkey. Factor analysis was used in data reduction toidentify a small number of factors related to risk sources and risk strategies in this study. Then, multiple regression modelwas used to evaluate the infuence of socio-economic characteristics on the strawberry farmers risk perceptions and riskmanagement strategies using factor loadings. The results of this study show that the most important risk resource that thestrawberry farmers' perceive is arise from the lack of production capacity. Sustainable income was the most importantrisk management strategy factor that was signifcantly perceived by strawberry farmers. As a solution to lack of capacity,strawberry farmers should be specialized on strawberry growing to increase the capacity providing soil fertility, improvethe product quality and application of new agricultural technologies, instead of product diversifcation. In terms ofsustainable income, strawberry farmers should focus more on the application of alternative marketing methods, such asdirect marketing from feld to consumers. By forming their own cooperatives, strawberry farmers should furthermore,access to alternative market channels.
