Abstract: The organic farming has been adopted on farms since the mid 1980s by the supports of trade firms in western part of the country and the diversity of organic crop and livestock farming has been rapidly developed so far today. Dried sultanas, apricots, figs and hazelnut were the first crops to be produced organically and nowadays 110 different crops and livestock products are being produced organically. The organic farming planted area has reached to 162,193 hectares and the production was 217,454 tonnes in 2004. The research results carried out on farm level indicated that average yields of organic crops are generally low (except for some crops), prices received by farmers, labor requirements and the net profit per hectare of planted area is higher than the conventional farming in Turkey. Organic farming has a positive contribution to producers` welfare and producers tend to maintain and to expand the organic farming in general. The development trend of organic farming mostly depends on capacity of firms, export possibilities and domestic demand increase. In this paper, evaluation of organic farming is reviewed in the light of the recent research results on farm level as well as recent developments in national level from the viewpoint of production, export volume, legal and institutional framework in Turkey.
