The research aimed at estimating the optimum size of
autumn potato farms in Al-Qusir district-Homs province. A simple
randomized sample of 192 farmers has been taken from five
different villages. The sampled farms were divided into four
classes b
ased on size.
The results showed that the production, return, net return
and the net profit of 1 SYP/ Donnum were increased along with
size of the farm .By using one way Anova, The analysis showed
that there were statistically significant differences among the size
of farms based on the above-mentioned measures.
The study is based on the cost of milk and marketing margins in dairy
farms in Jordan and estimated cost function. This study is based on a cross
section data from 33 dairy farms. In the study it was determined that the cost of
raw milk production
in dairy farms is 0.43 JD/ Kg. and the most important cost
factors are feed cost, depreciation contributing 64%, 19%, respectively of total
production cost. It was found that marketing margins of milk were 77%,
econometric estimation of raw milk function using different forms showed that
the linear model is superior to the other forms. The elasticity of the estimated
cost function is found to be 0.20.
