The warehouse receipt system(WRS) in agriculture has been considered a solid tool to support
the agricultural sector. In comparison to other nations, Turkey has initiated the adoption of WRS
recently. Therefore, the attitudes, abilities, and perceptions of farmers regarding current practices are
of great importance. This study identified the factors influencing farmers’ intention to useWRS and
categorized thembased on these factors in Turkey. The conceptual framework of the study is constructed
on the Theory of Planned Behavior, the Technology Acceptance Model, perceived cost, innovation
openness, and organizational factors. Explanatory factor analyses were utilized to reveal reliability
and sampling adequacy of the factors, and a cluster analysis was conducted to categorize the farmers
based on the factors. The results showed that 38.40% of the farmers exhibited a high tendency towards
usingWRS in the future. These individuals demonstrated notably positive attitudes, social norms, and
perceived behavioral ability, and they also held favorable perceptions towardsWRS (perceived ease of
use, perceived usefulness, perceived cost). This study could assist intermediaries, industrialists, and
decision-makers in improving the system and developing action plans.
