Purpose: In this study, the effects of agricultural supports for sunflower production (deficiency payment support and diesel-fertilizer support), sunflower producer prices, sunflower import prices and diesel-fertilizer prices on sunflower production areas were investigated. Design/Methodology/Approach: Multiple regression analysis was performed and an econometric model was created to determine the relationship between agricultural supports, sunflower producer prices, import prices and diesel-fertilizer prices with sunflower production area. The data of the variables used for the estimation of the model cover the period of 1991-2020. Findings: According to the model results, a statistically significant positive linear relationship was found between sunflower production areas with sunflower import price and diesel-fertilizer support payments, as expected, and a statistically significant relationship in a negative linear direction with diesel-fertilizer prices. It was determined that the diesel-fertilizer support was more effective on the sunflower production areas compared to the deficiency payment support given to the farmers. Originality/Value: According to these results, it can be suggested to increase the diesel-fertilizer support and to implement policies that will provide cost advantages, especially for the sunflower product, which has a shortage of supply and has a low self-sufficiency rate. In this study, some suggestions have been developed to increase sunflower production while determining oilseeds support policies in Turkey.
