The aim of this study is to reveal the economic analysis of almond producing enterprises, and to make suggestions for the problems encountered in almond production. The primary data of the research were obtained by face-to-face interviews with 96 businesses producing almonds in the Besni region of the Adiyaman province during the 2020-2021 production period. The single product budget analysis was used to determine the cost and profitability of almond production in the examined enterprises. According to the research results; the average land width of the almond enterprises was determined as 71.70 da, the average tree age was 7.77 years, the average almond seed yield was 144.44 kg/da, and the average almond yield was 301.55 g. The production cost of 1 kg of almonds was 20.49 Turkish Lira (TL), the average sale price of almonds was 18.05 TL, and the profit margin of 1 kg of almonds was -2.44 TL. Gross production value was calculated as 3909.89 TL, gross profit as 2952.56 TL, absolute profit as 950.85 TL, and relative profit as 1.32. It was observed that, the number of trees that do not bear fruit and the number of plantations that have not reached productivity, negatively affect the profit margins of the producers.
