Assessing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on hazelnut production
This study examines the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on hazelnut cultivation. Data are obtained from 196 hazelnut farmers in Turkey. Farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics and satisfaction with COVID-19 precautions are compared by geographical region. Exploratory factor analysis is used to examine the impact of COVID-19, with comparisons made before and during the pandemic via a paired-samples t-test. The results indicate that, though farmers in Ordu and Sakarya have similar socioeconomics and farm assets, they were affected differently by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fertilization costs increased by 60.5%, pesticide costs by 64.4%, and labor wages by 19.1% during the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas hazelnut sales prices only increased by 5.2%. Overall, the impact of COVID-19 can be explained across four dimensions: timing issues, increase in input prices, inability to access financial resources, and logistics issues. To generalize the results, it may be appropriate to select similar farmers in different regions and compare monetary values in real terms. In particular, farmers’ increased interest in digital resources due to the pandemic should be considered an opportunity for digital transformation in agricultural extension.
期刊介绍:
The Italian Journal of Agronomy (IJA) is the official journal of the Italian Society for Agronomy. It publishes quarterly original articles and reviews reporting experimental and theoretical contributions to agronomy and crop science, with main emphasis on original articles from Italy and countries having similar agricultural conditions. The journal deals with all aspects of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the interactions between cropping systems and sustainable development. Multidisciplinary articles that bridge agronomy with ecology, environmental and social sciences are also welcome.
