Abstract :This study was carried out to determine current situation in terms of crop production in the province of Diyarbakir. This study, sowing-planting areas and production-yield values of field and horticultural crops were revealed. Total crop production of the province is 5 984 430 decares. Field crop production is practiced in 90.3% of the land used for crop production and horticultural production in 7.0% of it, while the remainder 2.7% is left to fallow. Diyarbakir is the granary of the region. Wheat from cereals, lentil from legumes, cotton from industrial plants, and corn silage from forage crops are grown the most in Diyarbakır. Watermelon and tomato are the most widely grown vegetable and plum and mulberry are the most widely grown fruit in the province. Diyarbakır also has a significant potential for viticulture.
