Özet
The aim of this study was to determine whether a difference existed between the income levels of farmers with EurepGAP certificates and farmers who produce conventionally ( without a certificate). The data were collected from 16 certified households that produce tomatoes in greenhouses in the Antalya Province and 33 uncertified greenhouse farms who were chosen randomly in the same region. All data was analysed using the partial budget method. When comparing the economic performances of certified tomato producers with the economic performances of uncertified tomato producers, the certified group can be summarized as the ones who have lower productivity, spend less and obtain a higher level of net income. EurepGAP certified tomato producers were determined to have a net income that is 2.8 times more per unit area compared to uncertified tomato producers.
