The types of farms in the area are small-scale family farms. The average farm size is 3.9 hectares. The level of financial leverage (debt to equity ratio) is low (%10) due to the predominance of relatively small holdings that lack access to markets for equity securities. Over 72 percent of gross farm receipts is accounted for industrial cash crops mainly sugar beets and tobacco. The net returns to land and management per farm and per hectare were computed at 281 million Turkish Lira and 7 million Turkish Lira respectively. Applying two price variable programming method, the price ranges for sugar beet and tobacco were determined over which plans were optimum and stable. Even an 80 percent reduction in the prevailing price of tobacco (all other input-output prices held constant) will not cause a change in the optimum plan. The high tobacco price underpins the increase in the area under tobacco tillage. To stop this trend, government programs were designed to control the under tobacco tillage area. Another reason for the high comparative advantage of tobacco over other crops is due to the fixed costs of production. If family labor which represents a noncash cost had been added to the production costs the comparative advantage of tobacco farming woufd have been less.
