Title

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF SAFFRON PRODUCTION IN SOUTH KHORASAN PROVINCE

Pages

  33-42

Abstract

 Studying the PRODUCTIVITY of production factors, especially of scarce inputs such as land and water, can help to increase PRODUCTIVITY with a view to reducing dependence on external inputs and resources as well as to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture. SAFFRON is one of the main agricultural products and export items of South Khorasan Province and Iran, which not only reaps high economic benefits for producers, but is also one of the most efficient crops in terms of economic PRODUCTIVITY, especially with respect to water consumption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PRODUCTIVITY and optimum use of inputs into the SAFFRON production systems in South Khorasan Province. Required data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with 98 farmers.The trans-log PRODUCTION FUNCTION was used to determine the relationship between production and inputs. Based on the data collected, the elasticity of inputs was calculated and used to determine the production areas for each input and the reasonable rate of input consumption. The results showed that the production elasticity values for land, water, fertilizer and SAFFRON corms (for planting) were positive, but were negative for manure and pesticides. This means that the farmers’ use of the inputs of land, water and fertilizer and SAFFRON corms were within economic parameters, but their use of animal manure and pesticide were in the third region and higher than the optimum amount. Furthermore, the sum of elastic values of inputs was equal to 0.91 indicating that there are decreasing returns towards scale in SAFFRON production in South Khorasan province.
