The agricultural sector is an area where energy resources are used intensively. The fact that energy production in developing countries depends mostly on fossil fuels necessitates optimum energy use in every field. Sustainable production can only be achieved by using resources efficiently. Energy efficiency in agricultural production can be evaluated through output/input analyses. Especially greenhouses are agricultural production areas where energy input is much higher compared to open areas. Research in this field will make significant contributions to determining the most appropriate input use levels for different regions and products in greenhouse cultivation. This study was conducted to determine the energy use efficiency of cucumber production under farmer conditions in a greenhouse in Konya - Ereğli district in the 2022 summer season. All agricultural practices were followed and recorded throughout the season. Energy use efficiency (energy ratio) was calculated as 1.14. Among the total input, non-renewable resources cover 2/3 of production with a rate of 66%. Reducing this ratio will reduce the share of energy produced from fossil fuels in production, while also balancing the pressures the ecosystem faces due to lack of resources. After all, in Konya, cucumber cultivation in greenhouses; It has been determined that it is advantageous when evaluated in terms of energy use efficiency, in other words production efficiency.
