In this study, milk consumption levels and preferences of producers operating in agricultural sector in rural areas were analyzed. In this direction, polls of Ankara, Polatli, Beypazarı, Ayaş provinces were interviewed by face-to-face interviews with 122 producers in April-May 2016. In order to interpret the survey results, simple arithmetic mean, ratio, percentage calculations, graph and χ2 analysis were used. In the interviews, the average household size of the producers is composed of 3.6 persons and the average milk consumption per capita is 28.4 lt per capita. While milk production was conducted in 59% of the household establishments, it was determined that milk consumption levels of the families as a result of the χ2 analysis changed according to the presence of milk production and the age groups of the business owners.
