A different approach to rural development: Yozgat Kadışehri Deveci basin fruit integration project

In this study, the effect of the "Deveci Basin Fruit Growing Integration Project", which is being implemented in the Kabalı Village of Kadışehri district of Yozgat province in Turkey, was investigated. In order to determine the socio-economic effects of the application results, a face-to-face survey was conducted with 119 producers who participated in the project. It was determined that the majority of the producers participated in the project in 2010, when the project was started, and this participation increased in the following years. Producers are very satisfied with the project, which provides them with regular rental income, employment and social security opportunities. The satisfaction of the Kabalı Village producers and the growing interest of the surrounding villages, which previously refused, can be considered as the most important success of the project. This project shows that it is a good example for rural development with its 10 years of practice. In the analysis of the data, factor analysis and chi-square analyzes were used. In the chi-square analyzes made, it was determined that there is a 1% relationship between the people and organizations that are effective in the participation of the producers in the project and their early or late participation in the project, In addition, it has been determined that there is a 10% significant relationship between the amount of land that the producers participate in the project and the early or late adoption of the project.
