Approaches to Total Factor Productivity Measurements in the Agriculture Economy
Productivity is defined as the efficiency of a production system, and as such would be a ratio of units of output per unit of input to the system (James and Carles, 1996). It is also defined as the production value (or ...
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 ...
Measurement of Total Factor Productivity and its Determinants: Case of Wheat Sector in Tunisia
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 ...
Total Factor Productivity Growth of the Tunisian Agricultural Sector: A review of historical trends and main determinants
The objective of this paper is to calculate the total factors productivity (TFP) growth of the Tunisian agricultural sector, between 1961 and 2012, and to assess its main determinants. Data about agricultural inputs and ...
Impact of Improving Irrigation Water Use Efficiency on the Valorization of Water Resources: Case of Irrigated Wheat Production Systems in Central Tunisia
The main objectives of this paper are to evaluate the impact of water use efficiency improvement on water value and to estimate the potential of water cost reductions in durum wheat production in Central Tunisia. Results ...
The Effect of Trade Liberalization on the Sustainability of Agricultural Sectors in Egypt and Tunisia: A New Framework Based on TFP Growth Structure
The Growth of agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) is considered fundamental to ensure food security and to enhance farmers’ livelihoods in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. The role of TFP growth ...
Impact of improving water-use efficiency on its valuation: The case of irrigated wheat production in Tunisia
The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the impact of irrigation water use efficiency improvement on enhancing the value of water used for irrigation; and to estimate the potential for private water cost reductions ...
