| Abstract | ||
| Agricultural production in Iraq Suffers of its low growth rate and fluctuation which was reflected in its low contribution in Gross Domestic Product. This calls the knowledge with reasons to identify the suitable agricultural policies to increase the growth rate of agricultural product and to pin-point the sources of domestic agricultural product growth for period (1980-2008) and to test the relationship between the Total Factor Productivity and agricultural product growth. To measure Total Factor Productivity Solow model and growth accounting technique were used which necessitates the estimation of agricultural sector production function in IRAQ by using (Cobb Douglas) model and time series data for study period. The study include the methodology and literature review and contained the reality of agricultural sector in Iraq, and two sections The first section tackled the economic theoretical framework and the second section dealt with econometrics theoretical framework. At last concerned with data analysis and discussion. The results showed the positive relation between capital stock and agricultural domestic product as the production elasticity for Capital was (0.69) which and it was significant at (1%) level. the production elasticity for work was (0.31) and total productivity of production factors contribution was significant in agricultural product growth as it was (84%) and The rate of productivity growth overall during the study period was (0.023), while the contribution of capital stock and workers number were (11.5%, 4.5%), respectively during the study period and showed results of the analysis that the production of agricultural sector in Iraq is within the second stage of production therefore recommends action to raise the productivity of workers in the agricultural sector and further studies on the total productivity of production factors and determinants of appropriate agricultural policy to raise the growth rate of agricultural production | ||
