Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological breakthrough is an essential input for increasing the production of agriculture or industry. Proper application of viable technology assumes paramount importance in this regard, which will be known from an in-depth analysis and understanding of the efficiencies that emerge from production functions and frontier production function of various farms or firm groups. Frontier production functions are gaining much importance in recent studies because of their role in measuring the various types of efficiencies of farms. This trend gives measure of inefficiencies of farms which are very important in economic decision making process. An attempt is made in this book to measure the farm specific efficiency by modifying the existing models with reference to sugarcane farms.The analysis of efficiencies of these different models will help not only the farms to make appropriate use of these techniques but also the developmental persons in choosing and suggesting the most effective model for unearthing various parameters contributing to the farm efficiency specific to individual and group farms.
Download or read book Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture and Food Security in Egypt written by El-Sayed Ewis Omran and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers contributions discussing climate change in Egypt from an agricultural perspective. Written by leading experts, it presents state-of-the-art insights and the latest research developments in light of the most recent IPCC report. Focusing on identifying the specific phenomena that affect climate change in Egypt, the book also addresses the effects of climate change in Egypt, particularly examining the quality and quantity of water resources as well as the socio-economic impacts of climate change on agricultural activities. Furthermore, it explores alternative solutions to support agriculture and food security and raises awareness of adaptation and protection as the key to adapting to the risks posed by climate change. Covering the four fundamental pillars of climate change: food security, availability, access and stability, this book is a valuable resource for stakeholders involved in achieving the 2030 sustainable development goals in Egypt and all countries with similar climatic conditions. It is also a unique source of information and updates on climate change impacts for graduates, researchers, policy planners, and decision-makers.

Download or read book The Agriculture of Egypt written by G. M. Craig and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt has one of the oldest and most productive agricultural systems in world, yet it has become one of the world's largest food importers. Today, as the Egyptian government undertakes a major agricultural reform program, the lessons of its past practices and current development need to be shared with the rest of the world. This text--written by Egyptian agricultural experts and other specialists--provides a comprehensive introduction and reference to Egypt's agricultural practices from their earliest origins through the 1990s. Topics range from the country's environmental history, to shifting population dynamics, to changing governmental and economic structures. Detailed descriptions of agricultural production and development in the northern Littoral region, the Delta, middle and upper Egypt, and the deserts are also provided. Written for agronomists, historians of the Middle East, and students and policy makers specializing in third-world development and agricultural systems, this work is an indispensable guide to the region's agricultural history and conventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern textbook presentations of production economics typically treat producers as successful optimizers. Conventional econometric practice has generally followed this paradigm, and least squares based regression techniques have been used to estimate production, cost, profit and other functions. In such a framework deviations from maximum output, from minimum cost and cost minimizing input demands, and from maximum profit and profit maximizing output supplies and input demands, are attributed exclusively to random statistical noise. However casual empiricism and the business press both make persuasive cases for the argument that, although producers may indeed attempt to optimize, they do not always succeed. This book develops econometric techniques for the estimation of production, cost and profit frontiers, and for the estimation of the technical and economic efficiency with which producers approach these frontiers. Since these frontiers envelop rather than intersect the data, and since the authors continue to maintain the traditional econometric belief in the presence of external forces contributing to random statistical noise, the work is titled Stochastic Frontier Analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aimed at assessing the technical efficiency of fish farmers in Ibadan metropolis of Oyo State, Nigeria using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. Primary data were collected using a set of structured questionnaire from 82 fish farmers in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria. The stochastic frontier function estimated for the 82 respondents showed that the mean efficiency value was 0.906. Majority of the fish farmers of about 65.9 percent are over 90 percent efficient and about 34.1 percent had technical efficiency ranging from 50 percent to 90 percent, based on the use of input. The distribution of results also showed that fish farmers in Ibadan metropolis are more efficient in the use of inputs though not all the inputs. There are farmers who gain more by reducing the inputs (e.g. labour use) for the same level of output. Changing the input combinations can thereby increase the farm level of efficiency. The farmers in the study area therefore need to use their available input intensively and rationally so as to produce better output and be technically efficient.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of input use, technological change and technical efficiency to the production growth of the Greek agricultural sector, using a stochastic production frontier method (Battese and Coelli, 1999) to a panel of 608 farms over the 1992/97 period. A translog functional form is used to represent the production frontier and the maximum likelihood estimation technique is employed to estimate the empirical model. The empirical results show, first, that the average technical efficiency of Greek farms is between 55.2% and 59.7% and, second, that the contribution of technological change and technical efficiency on production growth is positive (0.224% and 0.899% respectively), whereas the contribution of input growth is negative (-3.064%). This study indicates that there is substantial scope for increasing production growth through the improvement of technological change and technical efficiency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the state-of-the-art document describing the knowledge, data, cost-effectiveness and technologies employed to manage the waste in several countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Jordon, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen. It covers diverse topics including the status of the waste in the region, solid waste management, solid waste recovery and disposal, the use of the agricultural waste in feeding poultry, sludge disposal and management, wastewater treatment and energy production. Also, the book explains how waste management systems are becoming more complex in many countries with the move from landfill-based to resource recovery-based solutions following the setting of international and national targets to divert waste from landfill and to increase recycling and recovery rates. Besides, this book also evaluates the environmental legislation in the selected countries and suggests new performance enhancements. This book is of interest to environmental professionals including scientists and policymakers in the Middle East, North Africa, and areas with similar features.
