Özet
Ever-developing agricultural technologies and progress in communication science increase\rcompetition and globalization in converge countries. Agricultural fairs offer ambient to bring\rproducers and input-suppliers of agriculture together at certain places and times. They offer direct\rand efficient information about new technologies to producers. German Agricultural Society and\rLeader Farmer Association have jointly organized outdoor fairs in Turkey since 2010. Agriculture\rDays Fair is one of the most important events among these jointly organized fairs. This study was\rconducted to determine the reasons for producers’ participation in these fairs held in 2015 and 2017\rand to determine the effects of socio-economic characteristics of the producers on their reasons for\rparticipation in these fairs. A total of 589 questionnaires were made in this study (250 in May 2015\rfair and 339 in August 2017 fair). The same questionnaire forms were used in both years. CHAID\ranalysis technique was employed in analyzing data gathered from the producers. It was observed\rthat producers generally participated in agricultural fairs just for the excursion or spent time with\rtheir families at weekends. However, it was also determined that the producers were informed about\rthe agricultural fairs by producer organizations and Leader Farmer Association participated in the\rfairs to promote a new products or to give information about new technologies and inputs. It can be\rsuggested that beyond informing producers about the fairs, Leader Farmer Association formed\rwithin the scope of Leader Farmer Project initiated with the support of German Agricultural Society\r(DLG) should convey information about how important the fairs are in the acquaintance with\rintroducing new information and technologies.
