The aim of this study is to determine the physical input
quantity used in peanut production and unit cost, and to
make the functional analysis of the aforementioned
production in the farms of Osmaniye province. The data used
in the study belongs to 2009 growing season and they are
collected by finite population sampling method from 44 farms
in the 27 villages of 6 counties in Osmaniye province. The
inputs used per decare in peanut production are determined
as follows respectively: 1 h male labor force, 0.54 h
tractor traction, 8.60 kg seed, 21.40 fertilizer and 0.25 kg
pesticide in averages. 1 kg peanut cost is 1.10 TL in 2009
prices. The

 function
is determined by using Cobb-Douglas production function
analysis between production and inputs used. QUOTE QUOTE
 Multiple
correlation coefficient (R2) is 0.578. The sum of
production elasticities for production function is
