The study uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) through an output-oriented model and Constant Returns to Scale (CRS) to estimate the efficiency of chickpeas production in the Egyptian main governorates during 2006-2019. During the period of the study 2006-2019, the mean of production, area, and yield is 5390.36 ton, 6027.71 feddan, and 0.91 ton/feddan, respectively. Assuit has the highest production mean and the largest area mean, while Luxor has the lowest production mean and the lowest area mean. The minimum mean value of yield is 0.72 ton/feddan at Luxor, while the maximum mean value of yield is 1.14 ton/feddan at Menia. The results of the study indicate that the mean of efficiency for chickpeas production in the main governorates is 94.5%. The minimum value of efficiency is 0.876 at governorate of Aswan, while the maximum value of efficiency is 1.000 at governorate of Assuit. The study recommends implementing the system of land consolidation to increase the efficiency of chickpeas production in Egypt.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
