Description
Summary:State forest nursery enterprises, which have strategic importance for forestry of our country, are public sector enterprises which have managed to survive since 1925. These enterprises are responsible for producing seedlings which are used both in artificial regeneration and afforestation activities carried out by the related units of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and in planting activities to be carried out by all segments of the society. In this research, the current status of forest nursery enterprises in terms of supply, production, marketing and public relations, etc. functions are examined with the help of the nursery mangers opinions. Literature and document analysis, questionnaire and interview were used as methods in the research. And, all of the nursery managers were interviewed face to face. According to result of the research, the main problems of forest nursery enterprises are concentrated in the business economy rather than technique issues. Increasing marketing problems, low capacity utilization, quality and cost management problems, nursey establishment site problems, lack of a standard structure in terms of personnel, machinery and facilities, etc. factors have a negative impact on the success of these enterprises.
