Agricultural production is very important in terms of both energy production and consumption. The main purpose of this study was to calculate the energy values, productivity, and energy efficiency of inputs used in sunflower production in Konya. The sample volume was calculated as 51 by using the Neyman Method of the Stratified Random Sampling Method. In the energy balance analysis of enterprises, the energy equations of all outputs and inputs used in sunflower production were acquired by multiplying with conversion coefficients. Energy output and input equations were calculated for unit sunflower production (MJ kg^-1). In conclusion, it was ascertained that 25.26% of the total energy input per hectare comprised direct energy and 74.74% consisted of indirect energy. Energy use efficiency in the research area was 4.94, while the specific energy value was 5.06 MJ kg^-1. In other words, 5.06 MJ kg^-1 of energy was consumed for 1 kg of sunflower production. The price of 1 kg of sunflower is USD 0.60. The average Technical Efficiency (TE) of the enterprises in the research area was 0.874, and 29.41% of the enterprises producing sunflowers were efficient in energy use per production, whereas 70.58% were less efficient enterprises. Saving energy in sunflower production will have a positive economic impact on the business.

The purpose of this work was to analyse the energy productivity and efficiency of agricultural enterprises growing poppy. The number of enterprises investigated in the study was determined from a stratified random sample of 87, the data is from 2019, and the study was conducted in Turkey. All inputs and outputs used in poppy production were obtained by multiplying energy equations with conversion coefficients in determining the energy use of the enterprises. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was employed to calculate the technical, pure-technical, and scale efficiency of poppy-producing enterprises. Poppy energy inputs consisted of the use of human labour, machinery, fertilizer, pesticides, seeds, water, and fuel. The poppy capsule yield per unit area was regarded as the energy output. In the end, 40.23% of the total energy input in poppy production consisted of direct and 59.77% indirect energy. Non-renewable energy consumption (88.70%) was found to be rather high in the research area. Therefore, the use of chemical fertilizers and fuels, which are non-renewable energy sources, must be lessened for poppy plant production. The energy efficiency was found to be 0.08 in poppy production. According to this result, the production systems of the enterprises producing poppy are sufficient and energy is used efficiently. The specific energy value in the enterprises was calculated as 11.95 MJ kg^-1 and the Technical Efficiency (TE) was calculated as 0.683. Producers produce at the same level with 68.3% of their capital, and 31.7 % saving.
