Abstract

There has been an increase in the demand for agricultural products and different support programs are implemented by countries to keep a sufficient, economically active population in agriculture. The aim of this study was to examine the impacts of the Young Farmer Support Program (YFP) in Türkiye. The primary data for this study was obtained from face-to-face surveys conducted with 155 young farmers. The logit model was used to analyse the factors affecting the willingness of young farmers to continue agricultural activities. The results showed that about half of the young farmers were not satisfied with the provided support, and 23.7% of them considered exiting the agricultural sector. The results of the Logit model showed that the satisfaction from the Program, the presence of social facilities in the rural areas, crop diversity, agricultural insurance, and investments in the farms were statistically significant and had an impact on the willingness of young farmers to continue their farm activities. Diversifying and expanding the scope of support policies for young farmers could make significant contributions to keeping young farmers in the agricultural sector and rural areas.

青年农民支持对青年农民继续从事农业活动意愿的影响：土耳其 TR52 地区的案例

随着农产品需求的增加，各国实施了不同的支持计划，以保持足够的、经济上活跃的农业人口。本研究旨在探讨青年农民支持计划（YFP）对土耳其的影响。本研究的主要数据来自对 155 名青年农民进行的面对面调查。采用 logit 模型分析了影响青年农民继续从事农业活动意愿的因素。结果显示，约有一半的青年农民对所提供的支持不满意，23.7%的青年农民考虑退出农业部门。Logit 模型的结果表明，该计划的满意度、农村地区社会设施的存在、作物多样性、农业保险和对农场的投资在统计意义上显著，对青年农民继续从事农业活动的意愿有影响。多样化和扩大对青年农民的支持政策范围可为青年农民留在农业部门和农村地区做出重大贡献。
