Planning The Highest Income-Generating Labor Use in The Agriculture Sector According to Production Activities.

In all production processes, making detailed analyses and thinking about using the resources at an optimal level is defined as planning. For this reason, it is crucial to analyze and plan the external effects during the production process and the constraints that occur due to the use of inputs, especially in the agricultural sector, compared to other sectors. The main purpose of enterprises is to reach maximum profit with optimal resource use or to achieve optimal production by using minimum input. Therefore, planning should be done to ensure the optimization of limited resources and to realize the best distribution among various options to achieve a specific purpose. The factor of production that prevents capital and natural resources from being passive and contributes to using resources with their qualifications and abilities is human. For this reason, the planning of human resources in agricultural production will directly influence the use of other factors. Within the scope of this study, production patterns in Konya's agroecological regions were designated, and optimal use of the labor was planned to achieve maximum income. It has been determined that economic losses are due to underemployment in the agroecological third, fourth, and fifth regions. Policy recommendations have been developed to solve the problems identified in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
