• The organic hazelnut producers used no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.

• On the other hand, conventional hazelnut producers did use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

• Other studies showed that the costs in organic hazelnut production were between 4 and 6%6,16 lower.

• Although the organic hazelnut producers used more manure per unit of area than the conventional producers, there was no statistically significant difference between them.

• Results revealed that, compared to conventional hazelnut producers, organic hazelnut producers were more educated, had larger hazelnut areas and spent more time on agricultural activities.
