Fish farming using earthen ponds is considered one of the most commonly-used
ways in Syria. It is one of the important resources of fish production in the country .In the
last years ,the importance of producing fish to meet the needs of Syrian citi
zensfor animal
protein has increased ,due to the shortage of sources and the increasing prices of animal
products on one hand , and the greatly growing population on the other.
The research aims to achieve the following objectives:
1 -Calculating the Production costs for all production processes contained in stages
farming fish in ponds and carry out a study and analysis of these costs account.
2- The economic evaluation t of farming fish using earthen ponds in Latakia through
the expense of some economic analysis indicators.
Through research we came to the following results:
1-The net profit achieved was 102847,3 SYP/1000m2
2- The total production costs was147952,7SYP/1000m2
3-The farm Production efficiency reached 1,97and the economic efficiency 1.69
4-The profitability index as related to production costs amounted to 81.83 % and as
related to the invested capital amounted to 20.65%.
The objectives of this paper are: First, to use the contingent
valuation technique in estimating respondents' maximum
willingness to pay for a suggested programme of health insurance;
Second, to identify the factors that have a significant effect
on the
respondent's decision in approving or disapproving the suggested
programme of health insurance.
Legumes crops have a vital role in nutrition and in crop rotation. This study was
conducted to assess the productivity and economic efficiency of some legumes
crops (feed-fodder) in Salamieh district, Hama governorate, during 2011/2012
season. A r
andom sample of 110 farmers were selected according to an application
prepared for the purpose of the research. The results showed a high cost of the
seed up to 19.76% of the total costs, while the cost of harvesting achieved up to
36% of the total costs, due to manual harvesting. The lentils and grass pea were
profitable for the farmers at Salamieh district, where the average of overall rate of
profit was (7.67, 21.92%) and the rate of the changing asset was (1.32 and 1.53) S.P.
respectively. This is a proof of the investment efficiency of the available resources
and production increase. While the profitability of chickpeas and vetch did not
exceed 4%, and the rates of the changing asset were (1.21،1.26) S.P. respectively.
Also, the results showed that the economic efficiency of all crops was greater than
one. Grass peas had the highest economic efficiency (1.22), which indicates the
efficiency of farmers in the use of fixed and variable capital. and thus, the feasibility
of cultivation legumes crops in Salamieh. This study concluded to expand grass pea
cultivation, as long as marketing market is available, also, improved varieties for
automated harvesting, and high-productivity, to improve the farmers income and
productivity.
