The production function was estimated as Cobb-Douglas type and in the long term as optimal amounts of maximized profit resources were achieved and compared to actual reality. Among them was derived output display function and resource demand function, Through data collected by a questionnaire form prepared for this purpose for a random sample of 31 farms produced, It accounted for 40% of the study community, and one of the most important findings of the research was that the volume of the maximum production of profits was 15,634 kg/dunum, and profits reached (3544937) dinars/dunums compared to the actual production of 12,799 kg/dunums and profits (2269187) dinars/dunums,, in the light of these findings the study recommends tomato farmers to use optimal amounts of maximized profit resources in order to increase their profits. | ||
