In this study, the socio-economic structure of grain maize enterprises which utilized and did not utilize from drip irrigation subsidies in Kahramanmaraş province and the factors affecting utilizing from drip irrigation support were determined. The material of the study consisted of the surveys conducted with grain maize producers who utilized and did not utilize from the drip irrigation supports provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry between 2012 and 2017. Surveys were conducted with 45 grain maize producers who used drip irrigation systems by the way of subsidies and the same number of grain maize producers who did not. Total of 45 producers were selected through simple random sampling method. The tendency of grain maize producers utilizing from drip irrigation subsidies and the factors affecting these tendencies were determined by logistic regression analysis. It was observed that the age of the producers, their education period, the number of family members, the total size of the land they cultivated and their total agricultural income positively affected the status of utilizing from drip irrigation support. On the contrary, agricultural experience, the number of people working in agriculture in their family and the production area of grain maize negatively affected. In accordance with the results, various strategies can be developed by the decision makers on the generalization of the use of drip irrigation system in the agricultural production and according to the effects of the subsidies, the efficient use of the restricted sources can be provided by developing policies.
