To supply the need of increasing demand for dairy producers will be possible by increasing the productivity of dairy farms. The aim of this study is to increase the competitive capacity of the enterprises by conducting the productivity analysis of the milk enterprises in Konya province. Cumra, Karapinar and Eregli districts constituted 15% of the number of bovine animals, were selected by using purpose sampling method. The number of dairy cattle in these enterprises constituted the main frame of the population the primary data collected from 125 dairy farm enterprises with questionnaire technique through stratified sampling method with 95% confidence interval and error margin of 5%. These enterprises were separated groups according to the number of animals as 0-50, 51-150, and 151-+ groups. It was studied with totally 125 sample farms; 72 in the first group, 38 in the second group and 15 in the third group. It was calculated that the average gross production value was 234,017.90 $, variable costs were 127,370.25 $, gross margin wasl06,647.65 $ and fixed costs were 52,820.19 $. Net agricultural income was calculated as 66,309.04 $ and 1 Kg raw milk cost is 0.27 $ at the surveyed. Generally, the productivity increases based on proportional enterprise scale. At these enterprises, labor productivity was 156.97$, capital productivity was 0.28, variable inputs productivity 1.84 and cattle unit productivity was 2,827.47 $. The technical efficiency of the enterprises was calculated as 0.927, the scale efficiency was 0.973. As a result, it was determined that 44 enterprises were effective, 81 enterprises were ineffective within 125 dairy farming.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDairy enterprisesProductivityEfficiencyKonyaProductivity analysis of dairy cattle farms in Turkey: case study of Konya ProvinceArticle141298319Q3WOS:000433051500015Q4
