Özet

This research aims to calculate the energy use efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and production costs of organic table grape production. The data of this research belong to the 2021 production season and the study was carried out in 2022. The agricultural production inputs and outputs used in organic table grape production were calculated to determine the energy use efficiency and GHG. Energy use efficiency, specific energy, energy productivity and net energy values were calculated, respectively as 3.84, 3.07 MJ kg−1, 0.33 kg MJ−1 and 174,690.11 MJ ha−1. The used total energy inputs in organic table grape production can be classified as 42.50% direct, 57.50% indirect, 28.30% renewable and 71.70% non-renewable. Total GHG emission was calculated as 4411.47 kgCO2‑eqha−1 for organic table grape production, with electricity having the greatest share by 3239.85 kgCO2‑eqha−1 (73.44%). GHG ratio was calculated as 0.22 kgCO2‑eqkg−1. In addition, according to the study, the production cost of table grapes is 7.543 TL kg−1 and the income is 9.470 TL kg−1. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that organic grape production in the 2021 production season is profitable in terms of energy use efficiency (3.84). In addition, this study is important since there has not been a collective study in the literature on the energy balance, GHG emissions, costs and incomes in organic table grape production in the region.
