Abstract
The reducing role of public in economy had encouraged the private alternatives in technology transfer, and also cost-sharing structures in agricultural extension services. The structural changes vary according to the country conditions. In this study, KOYMER Project, which was aimed at decentralization, cost sharing and creating a pluralistic structure in Turkish agricultural extension system, had been examined by interviewing with 566 consultants (advisors) in Turkey. Some information on personal characteristics, activities and problems have been gathered through the questionnaires. The project had positive effects on extension workers–farmers ratios, behavioral changes in technical and socio-cultural issues in rural areas. But, the planned financial contributions of farmers and sustainability of the model predicted had not provided in the project.
