This study examines the length and structure of farm cropping in the East
Jordan Valley. A statistical technique called crop combination analysis has
been used to analyze and classify the crop pattern data of about ١٥٠٠ farm
units in the middle ar
ea of the East Jordan Valley (blocks no. ١٩-٢٤), in the
third stage of the King Abdullah Canal Project.
The objective of the research aimes to estimate the optimum amount of
output to produce from vegetables grown under plastic houses. The vegetables
include tomatoes, green beans, cucumber, hot pepper, and sweet pepper in the
Jordan Valley regions,
However, cost function analysis was used in this
research, average variable cost and marginal cost are derived from total cost
function for each crop in each region.
The optimum amount of out put to produce can be determined by equating
marginal cost with price of product. The break even can be estimate by
equating the price of product with the minimum average variable cost.
