ESTIMATING THE ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF IRAQ'S MEATY CHICKEN FARMS USING DATA ENVELOPE ANALYSIS FOR THE 2021 SEASON

Abstract

Chicken production is affected by many factors, including the level of use of economic resources and their level of productive efficiency and the scarcity of these resources as a result of multiple uses. As a result of the low level of efficiency in its use, it is necessary to study this important activity and identify the economic efficiency (EE) and its components as the most important measure of economic performance efficiency, and thus to identify the amount of economic efficiency achieved by meat chicken breeders. The research aimed to assess the technical and economic efficiency of meat frog farms in Salah Alden province for the 2021 season using data envelope analysis. This study relied in its research data on preliminary sources obtained through a field survey by distributing a form representing 85.5% of poultry farmer's meat in Salah Alden according to specific questions about economic efficiency data as well as interviews of animal production professors, poultry sector specialists and some researchers and scholars together. As for the amount of resources achieved for economic efficiency, it was found that, in the shadow of the change in capacity return, most sample farms had a surplus using these resources.
