Measurement of the total factor productivity and its determinants: the case of the wheat sector in Tunisia
The main objectives of the current study are to quantify the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth of durum wheat sector in Tunisia and to identify its main determinants. The Malmquist index approach was applied for the ...
Estimation of the economic loss due to irrigation water use inefficiency in Tunisia
The main objective of this study is to estimate the total economic loss due to inefficient use of irrigation water in Tunisia. Several approaches have been used for this purpose. The optimal level of water application for ...
Economic efficiency measures and its determinants for irrigated wheat farms in Tunisia: a DEA approach
The objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, we aim to measure the technical,
scale and economic efficiencies for a sample of 170 cereal farmers in Chebika region
(Central Tunisia) using Data Envelopment Analysis ...
Performance evaluation of ground water management instruments: The case of irrigation sector in Tunisia
Around 27% of aquifers in Tunisia are being overexploited. Groundwater extractions is mainly for the irrigation sector, where more than 40% of the water used for irrigation comes from GW sources. The objective of this study ...
Wheat technologies introduced by SARD-SC produce five tons per hectare, to improve food security of Eritrea
A major contributing factor to increased productivity has been the development of new high yield varieties through the AfDB funded SARD-SC Wheat project of ICARDA working with the National Agricultural Research Institute ...
Farmers’ Adaptation to Groundwater Shortage in the Dry Areas: Improving Appropriation or Enhancing Accommodation?
The objective of this paper is to identify farmers’ strategies to adapt to groundwater shortage in vulnerable arid areas of south Tunisia.
In the selected area, the potential of rainfed agriculture is very limited and ...
Analysis of the competitiveness of wheat and orange in Tunisia under water shortage scenarios
Increasing water shortage results in higher food prices which may affect the competitiveness of small irrigated farming systems. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of water shortage on the competitiveness ...

The main objectives of this study are to quantify the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth
of the durum wheat sector in Tunisia and to identify its main determinants. The Malmquist
index approach was applied for the ...
Water-Saving Technologies and Total Factor Productivity Growth in Small Horticultural Farms in Algeria
Investment in water-saving technologies (WST) was always considered as a solution to manage water demand. Indeed, the adoption of these techniques allows the use of less water in the agricultural production process. Actually, ...
Foresight modeling of wheat self-sufficiency: perspectives for SSA
This presentation summarises research outputs from long term projections of wheat production, consumption, and trade under different climate change and socioeconomic scenarios in selected SSA countries. The IMPACT model ...
