Technical, Allocative and Economic Efficiencies of Potato Production in Iran
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
In this study technical, allocation and economic efficiencies of 22 potato producing provinces in Iran was investigated using data envelopment analysis approach. The Results showed that average technical, allocative and economic efficiencies were 0.98, 0.77 and 0.75, respectively. It was indicated that it had been possible to reduce the production cost by 25 percent The results identified that the consumption of seed, manure, herbicides, fungicides, nitrogen, direct labor and water was more than the optimal economic amount and insecticides and potash were used less than optimum amount. The results clearly indicated that the main problem in potato production of Iran was resource allocation, so by optimizing the input usage, the profit margin could be increased. The optimum use of seed, manure, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, phosphates, nitrogen, potash, direct labor was calculated 2633.6 kg, 3.6 ton, 0.7 kg, 1.1 kg, 0.5 kg, 124.2 kg, 181 kg, 58 kg, 17 day-person and 7501762 Rials, respectively. It was expected that efficiency improving could reduce potato production cost about 15189913 Rials almost 22 present per hectare.
