dc.description.abstractWhite cherry fruit is grown primarily in Konya Province's Ere & gbreve;li District. The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy usage, energy efficiency and greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by white cherry fruit in Konya's Ere & gbreve;li District. The data utilized within this study were collected through surveys with 30 growers during the 2025 production season; therefore, the survey data were analyzed in terms of the energy equivalencies and carbon emission factors of the inputs involved in the white cherry fruit production process. Energy usage efficiency was determined to be 4.01 MJ/ha and 45,618.31 MJ/ha. Additionally, the energy productivity, specific energy, and net energy usage per hectare were determined to be 1.37 kg/MJ, 0.80 MJ/kg, and 45,427.04 MJ/ha, respectively. The largest proportions of energy usage were in the form of chemical fertilizers at 37.73%, and electrical energy at 34.87%. Thus, the energy usage due to chemical fertilizers and electrical energy accounted for approximately two-thirds of the total energy utilization. The total GHG emissions associated with white cherry fruit production were 1185.74 kg CO2-eq/ha. A product-based GHG emission value of 0.06 kg CO2-eq/kg was also estimated. In addition, it was estimated that the majority (> 80%) of the electrical energy consumed was from non-renewable energy sources. Approximately 84.6% of the energy usage comprised non-renewable energy sources, while 15.4% comprised renewable energy sources. These results indicate a positive energy balance in white cherry fruit production; however, an increase in renewable energy usage would result in sustainable development in this area. In order to decrease both energy expenses and the carbon footprint of the white cherry fruit production system, growers could utilize energy efficient irrigation systems and solar power. The usage of nitrogen fertilizer should be optimized to minimize the carbon footprint.
