dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to analyze the energy and profitability of dried apricot production in terms of sustainability. The study was carried out in the Malatya province of Turkey. The samples of the study were 65 apricot farmers that were determined by the proportional sampling technique. The data collected belonged to the production period of 2019-2020. In the study, socio-economic characteristics of farmers were put forward, energy input-output analysis and economic analysis of dried apricot production were performed. According to the results for dried apricot production, total energy input, energy output, energy output/input ratio, energy productivity, specific energy, energy intensiveness, and net energy were determined to be 14,928.12 MJ, 28,794.44 MJ, 1.93, 0.14 kg MJ(-1), 6.90 MJ kg(-1), 7.65 MJ $(-1) and 13,866.32 MJ, respectively. Net profit obtained for apricots was calculated to be 2604.41 $ ha(-1). The most important criterion for the growing decision of apricot farmers was apricot yield.
