| The effective use of resources can increase production and lower productivity resulting from inefficient use of resources. Therefore, the goal of research to estimate the efficiency of using the available economic resources for the eggplant production and a comparison between the optimal quantities and actual quantities of resources used, data were collected randomly from 23 farmers of the crop in the province of Diyala -- Jalawla accounted for 5% of the study population, the search adopt in estimating the economic efficiency and the separation of its components to the technology and economic efficiency on data envelope analysis. The average capacity efficiency and it is inversely associated with family size and proportional with the level of education and years of experience in the cultivation of the crop, technical efficiency averaging 0.82 In other words, the sample farms can achieve the same level of output using 82% of the actual combination of the resources used. While the allocative efficiency, reaching an average of 0.61that mean any re-allocation of resources will provide 39% of the cost of production while maintaining the current production level and cost efficiency, which averaged 0.52 it inversely associated with the size of the family and educational level, and positively with the years of experience in the cultivation of the crop. When comparing the actual quantities of resources with their counterparts achieve economic efficiency show that most of the sample farms surplus in the use of resources and production costs increase at the lowest point of the average costs by 63%. The search find the crop did not obtain adequate attention consequent increase in cost. Therefore, search recommends a susing the optimal production quantities of the elements because of its importance in achieving economic efficiency. | ||
