In this study, it was aimed to perform an energy analysis of organic grape production in Besni district of Adıyaman province of Turkey. In order to determine the energy input-output of organic grape production, the observations and surveys were performed in the 82 organic grape growers in Adıyaman province. 82 farms were selected on full count method. The data obtained from study were collected from 82 different farms (398.32 hectares) by face to face questionnaires and observations. In organic grape farms, energy input-output analysis was also determinated by observation and survey methods in production season in 2015. In organic grape production, energy input was calculated as 24,875.06 MJ ha−1 and energy output was calculated as 163,430 MJ ha−1. Energy use efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy and net energy in organic grape production were calculated as 6.57; 0.56 kg MJ−1, 1.79 MJ kg−1 and 138,554.94 MJ ha−1, respectively.
