Managerial and Market-Based Appraisal of Agriculture Banking Using ANP and ELECTRE Method

Abstract

Agricultural sector plays a very important role for the economies of the countries. It satisfies food needs of the people, provides raw materials to the industry sector and decrease unemployment rate and current account deficit problem. However, agricultural sector has some structural problems, such as periodic income, but continuous costs and need for modern and expensive machines. Because of these problems, agricultural producers should obtain necessary finance in order to increase their competitive powers. Banks are important institutions providing financial sources to agricultural producers to be effective in agricultural sector while minimizing the problems of producers. Based on the issues in the field, this study aims to identify the performance of Turkish banks regarding agricultural sector. Within this scope, we analyzed the performance of state-owned, privately-owned and foreign banks in Turkey separately. In this study, ANP (analytic network process) and ELECTRE (elimination and choice translating reality) methods have been used in order to achieve the objective of this study. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that with respect to net superior values, privately-owned banks have the greatest value in comparison with other banking groups. On the other hand, regarding net inferior values, foreign banks have the best performance. These two results show that state-owned banks do not have the highest performance. This situation identifies that the popularity of agriculture sector increased very much in Turkey so that privately-owned banks and foreign banks started to give more importance to this sector.

“…In the literature, AHP and ANP approaches can also make this kind of analysis [88][89][90]. However, the main difference of DEMA-TEL method in comparison with these approaches is that impact and relationship analysis can also be performed in this model [91].…”
