Abstract

Achieving self-sufficiency in MAIZE production is one of the objectives of the present government in agricultural sector. Increasing productivity in agricultural sector is one of the major objectives of the 20-year vision plan and development plans. Also, using productivity index is one of the important tools in evaluation of the activities in agricultural sector, in achieving self-sufficiency. So, in this research, in order to assessing the increasing plan of MAIZE production, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of this product was estimated with the use of TORNQVIST-THEIL INDEX in three main producing province (Fars, Khuzestan and Kermanshah) in Iran during 1998-2002. The results showed that the TFP of MAIZE in the country despite its rising has been below 1 (exept for year 1999) within this intended period. Its annual increasing rate was positive during this period and it indicates an improvement in total productivity. The TFP of MAIZE has decreased in two cities (Fars & Khozestan) during this period, its increasing rate has turned to be negative, and the reason for this decline was the fact that Input-Index increasing rate has been higher in comparison to output-Index increasing rate. Despite the execution of increase-in-maize-production project which has caused more production of MAIZE, the total productivity has declined because the costs-increase rate was higher than the production-increase rate. Despite its fluctuations, the TFP of MAIZE has gone up in kermanshah during the period of this study and met a positive increasing rate. The results of this investigation revealed that the government can not achieve a self-sufficiency in this regard in Iran, and even if this occurs in MAIZE production, it would be fleeting. In order to meet such a dynamic self-sufficiency, programming is necessary and country’s authorities should take wide and drastic actions to cope with the decrease in production costs of MAIZE.
