    Located in the Mediterranean region, Erdemli district has been on its way to becoming a greenhouse production center in recent years, with the effect of favorable climatic conditions. In the study, it was aimed to determine the current situation in Erdemli, where greenhouse cultivation is carried out intensively, the characteristics of the greenhouses, the problems encountered in production and to develop suggestions for their solution. For this purpose, a questionnaire application prepared by the researcher was carried out in order to reveal the current situation of greenhouse operators in the district. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program and tables were created. Maps showing the location, topography and land use status of the region were produced with the ArcMap 10.4 package program. Face-to-face meetings were held with greenhouse operators, brokers and traders. As a result, it has been observed that especially greenhouse agricultural activities in the region are carried out with traditional agricultural methods in smaller scale family businesses, mostly plastic greenhouses are used to produce tomatoes and cucumbers, and they are negatively affected by natural disasters and cost increases.
