Özet
This study aims to analyze the technical and economic infrastructure of sheep farming enterprises operating in Türkiye. It assesses the demographic characteristics of enterprise owners, enterprise scales, production objectives, marketing strategies, and economic performance. Primary data were collected through face-to-face surveys conducted with 201 sheep farming enterprises during the 2023 production period. The sample was selected based on information provided by the Provincial Directorates of Agriculture and Forestry and the Breeding Sheep and Goat Breeders’ Associations. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 27. Categorical data related to enterprise characteristics and the demographic profiles of enterprise owners were examined. The findings indicate that the majority of enterprise owners are middle-aged or older individuals, have a low level of education, and operate predominantly within an extensive production system. The producers’ marketing methods rely mainly on direct sales. In conclusion, ensuring the sustainability of the sheep farming sector requires encouraging young producers to enter the industry, expanding educational programs, and adopting modern production techniques.
