dc.description.abstractTurkey has huge honey production potential. However, traditional production mode negatively affects the total production and productivity. The purpose of this study was to analyse the determinants of technical efficiency of beekeeping farms. This paper also aimed to examine the association between beekeeping subsidies and farm efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis on beekeeping farming. In this study, it was used primary data from 54 producers in Nigde province in 2017. Producers were selected through stratified sampling method. According to results, the mean technical efficiency of the beekeeping farms is 0.57. The beekeepers were found to be generally fairly inefficient. This implies that there will be need to develop new technologies to raise productivity. The most important factors, which determine technical inefficiency, are the existing of pure race bee in colony, education level of farmer, hive numbers, beekeeping subsidies, age of farmer, type of beehive and the number of migratory activity. The result revealed that pure race bee in colony had a great impact on beekeeping productivity. According to inefficiency model result, the government subsidy scheme for beekeeping had a net negative impact on the technical efficiency of beekeeping farm. For this reason, integrated development efforts and implementation of policies, which will develop the technology that will enable to use resources more efficiently in agriculture, have great importance to improve the sector.
