Data was obtained from 55 peach and cherry producers who applied good agricultural practices by survey method and the same survey was also conducted with the same number of producers who did not apply good agricultural practices for the comparison of the enterprises. The results showed that energy use efficiency in peach production was found as 1.01 in the enterprises applying good agricultural practices while it was found as 0.66 in the enterprises not applying good agricultural practices. According to the economic analysis results, the relative profits in peach production were found as 1.88 and 1.82, respectively. Energy use efficiency in cherry production was 1.03 in the enterprises applying good agricultural practices while it was 0.78 in the enterprises not applying good agricultural practices.
