Özet

Agricultural support is used to increase product diversity, sustainability, productivity, and quality in agricultural production. In 2011, agricultural support from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) was given to 79 farmers in Dicle, Hani, Kulp, and Silvan districts to disseminate the wire trellis vineyard system in Diyarbakır province, Türkiye. In this study, based on the willingness of the viticulture farmers to continue the wire trellis system, factors affecting the success of agricultural support were investigated. Study data were obtained from the viticulture farmers, who received the support to establish wire trellis systems, through structured and semi-structured questionnaires during face-to-face interviews in 2020. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics and logistic regression methods were used. Data analysis revealed that 62% of the respondents were willing to continue with wire trellis system in viticulture farming. According to logistic regression results, along with the significant (p < 0.05) and positive effect of education at secondary or higher schooling, the knowledge level and satisfaction status of the respondent farmers had positive and statistically highly significant effects on their willingness to use wire trellis systems, while the existence of off-farm income sources had a marginally significant but negative effect. In order to harvest the expected outcomes from the support policies, we conclude that it is beneficial to direct the support to young and educated farmers for whom agriculture is the primary source of income, and to accompany this with the relevant extension work so as to enhance the knowledge level of the target farmers.
