The economic efficiency of marketing citrus at the level of farmers in Syria


Abstract in English

This research aimed to analyze the economic efficiency of marketing citrus at the level of farmers in Syria in order to determine the marketing performance and problems facing farmers. 380 farmer stratified samples were taken from villages in both Latakia and Tartous provinces according to the contribution of each province in total country production. Results showed that the marketing options available to farmers focused on two major methods: selfmarketing in domestic markets, and production leasing to dealers, which both accounted for 53.9% and 44.3% of total quantities marketed of the samples, respectively.
