Özet
This study aims to determine the production cost of durum wheat in Türkiye and the price changes that occur until it reaches the end consumer after being processed into pasta. Türkiye is one of the most important producer countries in the world in durum wheat production, which is the main raw material of pasta production, and it is also one of the gene centers of the situation. Moreover, Türkiye is one of the most important pasta producer countries in the world. The data of the study were obtained in 2019 by applying a face-to-face survey with 280 agricultural farms in Ankara, Çorum, and Yozgat, which are some of the important provinces of Türkiye's durum wheat planting. As a result of the research, the production cost of durum wheat in farms is calculated as USD $0.11/kg, the output price of the pasta in the pasta factory is USD $0.35/kg, and the consumer purchase label price of the pasta produced in pasta factories was calculated as USD $0.70/kg. Thus, it has been determined that the durum wheat, which costs USD $0.11/kg on the farm, reached a 288,9% added value when pasta passes into the consumer's hand. The excess of agricultural inputs in farms and pasta factories increases production costs.
