Abstract:

This study explains the trend analysis for organic wheat and barley production in Turkey-Ağrı province between 2021 and 2024. For organic product production, the organic agricultural farm area trend and the organic agricultural worker trend have been analyzed. Until 2015, it has been determined that there was an increase in the number of organic agricultural areas and workers, but between 2015 and 2020 the trend of stagnation and then the downtrend had been occurred. While a similar trend has occurred in organic wheat production, it has been determined that organic barley production has been increasing overall since 2008. For the estimations of 2021-2024 years in the organic farming area, number of workers, wheat and barley production in Ağrı province, the Exponential Growth Method was applied separately to the 2007-2020 data with the Quadratic Trend Analysis method and ideal estimation data were tried to be obtained. Within the scope of the forecast results obtained, organic barley production is expected to be on an upward trend in the coming years, while organic wheat production is expected to be the opposite. In the light of these analysis results, it is of great importance for agricultural producers to raise awareness of producers and turn the downward trends back into an upward trend.
