Performance evaluation of irrigation has been an important area of research for better management of water resources. The present study was carried out to evaluate the performance of pressurized irrigation systems by using the previous researches conducted by our team in the Konya Basin of Turkey. The uniformity coefficient, UC and distribution uniformity, DU, as a performance parameter were analyzed. The average UC and DU values for drip irrigated areas were 80.9% and 68.9%, respectively. These values for sprinkler irrigated lands were 86.8% and 79.9%, respectively. The overall result showed that both UC and DU values were lower in drip irrigation than sprinkler irrigation. In general, sprinkler irrigation system has been applied for a long time while drip irrigation system has been used only recent years in Konya Closed Basin so low uniformity in drip irrigation system might be attributed to the poor experience of farmers especially about management and maintenance. It can be concluded that pressurized irrigation systems are efficient irrigation methods and should be widely used in agriculture especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world under good management for sustainable water resources use.

Indonesia and Turkey have different geoclimates which cause each country to produce different agricultural commodities. This presents a great opportunity for the two countries to trade these different commodities. Turkey and Indonesia have had a commercial, diplomatic, and military relationship since the 16th century as the Ottoman Empire and Aceh Sultanate. After both countries established as republic and independent countries, the bilateral relationship between two countries was rebuilt with the first trading agreement signed on September 14, 1958, followed by other cooperation and partnership agreements later on. At present, the bilateral relations between the two countries, especially in the economic sector are increasing. With the latest bilateral agreement, Indonesia-Turkey Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IT-CEPA), launched on July 6, 2017, economic cooperation between the two countries is expected to increase even more. Even though each year the value of trade between the two countries has increased, but those numbers are still far below the potential of the two countries. Therefore, it is necessary to increase trade commodities from both countries, especially agro-industrial commodities. This paper aims to provide a brief overview of some potential agro-industrial commodities to increase trade value between Indonesia and Turkey.

The study is to investigate the current situation in agricultural industry enterprises according to business functions. The data used in the research were made voluntarily through face-to-face interviews. The sample volume of the study was determined as 199 according to the quota (stratified purposive sampling) sampling method in the agro-industries of Konya, using TOBB data. According to the research results, it has been determined that the management functions in agro-industries are mostly carried out by business owners, business managers are generally male individuals, and their education level is generally at the undergraduate level. In agro-industries, raw materials are mostly (43.22%) brought from the province of Istanbul. It has been determined that the majority of agro-industries operate in national and international (71 enterprises) markets. The majority of the exports (15.08%) in the analyzed agro-industries are allocated to Iraq. It is stated that the average annual turnover of agro-industries is approximately 61 million TL. In agro-industries, income is one of the important factors used in determining the level of enterprises. When we look at the sector, it can be said that the existing industry consists of workshop-type family businesses rather than institutionalized companies and they have just started to institutionalize.
