The aim of this study was to determine the energy use efficiency, greenhouse gas emission and economic analysis in sour cherry production. The study data belongs to the 2022–2023 production season. The number of farms studied in the study was 69 farms producing sour cherries and the complete count method was used. Study data represents the 2022–2023 production season. As a result of the study, total energy input was calculated as 14,143.79 MJ/ha, total energy output as 21,630.75 MJ/ha, energy use efficiency as 1.53, specific energy as 1.92 MJ/kg, energy productivity as 0.52 kg/MJ and net energy value as 7486.96 MJ/ha. Energy inputs in sour cherry production consist of direct energy with 8207.24 MJ (%58.03), indirect energy with 5936.55 MJ/ha (%41.97), renewable energy with 2590.73 MJ/ha (%18.32) and non-renewable energy with 11,553.06 MJ (81.68%). Total greenhouse gas emissions of 479.73 kgCO2eq/ha and greenhouse gas emission rate of 0.06 kgCO2eq/kg were calculated. The total cost incurred in the production of sour cherry was 39,818.84 TL, the amount of sour cherry produced was 7382.51 kg and the production cost of 1 kg of sour cherry was 5.39 TL. According to the profitability indicators of sour cherry farms on enterprise basis, gross value of production value were calculated as 64,375.49 TL, variable costs 23,891.30 TL, fixed costs 15,927.54 TL, production costs 39,818.84 TL, gross profit 40,484.19 TL, net profit 24,556.65 TL and relative profit 1.61.
