Bu çalışmanın amacı; Hatay ilinde kavun üretimi yapan işletmelerin yapısını ve işleyişini ortaya koymak ve bölgedeki kavun üretimi ve pazar durumunu değerlendirmektir. Araştırmada, Hatay ilinde faaliyet gösteren 50 kavun üreticisi ile yüz-yüze anket çalışması yürütülmüştür. Ayrıca, kavun üretiminde karşılaşılan sorunlar ve yaşanan aksaklıklar tespit edilmiştir. Kavun üretiminde de kadın işgücü yoğun olarak kullanılmaktadır. 2022 yılı üretim sezonunda kavun yetiştiriciliğinde faaliyet gösteren kadınların günlük ₺150 (yaklaşık $9) ücret karşılığı çalıştığı belirlenmiştir. Türkiye’de 2021 yılında 668 753 ha alanda, 1 638 638 ton kavun üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hatay’da ise 13 230 da ekim alanından 32 537 ton kavun üretilmiştir. Hatay ilinde Kırıkhan kavunu coğrafi işaret almış olup tat ve aroma bakımından dikkat çekmektedir. Kavun fiyatları üretim sezonunda dalgalı bir seyir izlemektedir. Kavun üretiminde girdi maliyetleri de ciddi bir sorundur. Kavun üretim maliyeti 2022 yılında 1 da için ortalama ₺10 692 (yaklaşık $590) olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Yüksek maliyetler küçük aile işletmelerinin üretimde sürdürülebilirliğini tehdit etmektedir. Bu alanda üreticilerin desteklenmesi ve üretime teşvik edilmesi gerekmektedir. Aksi takdirde kavun üretimi küçük aile işletmeleri tarafından terk edilecektir. Bu hususta eğitim ve yayım faaliyetlerinin artırılması gerekmektedir.

The aim of this study is to reveal the functioning and sustainability of melon producing farms in Hatay province. In the research, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 50 melon farmers in Hatay province. Additionally, the problems and disruptions encountered in melon production were identified in the study. Female labor is used extensively in melon production. In 2022, it was determined that women working in melon cultivation work for a daily wage of ₺150 (approximately $9). In 2021, 1 638 638 tons of melons were produced in an area of 668 753 ha in Türkiye. In Hatay, 32 537 tons of melons were produced from 13 230 decares of cultivation area. In addition, Kırıkhan melon received a geographical indication. Kırıkhan melon is a product that attracts attention in terms of taste and aroma. Melon prices follow a fluctuating trend during the production season. Input costs are also a serious problem in melon production. The average melon production cost was ₺10692 (approximately $590) for 1 decare. High costs threaten the sustainability of small family farms in production. As a result, farmers need to be supported and encouraged for production. Otherwise, melon production will be abandoned by small family farms. In this regard, it is important to increase training and extension activities.
